X - the number of sandwiches
y - the number of soups

x+y=18 \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \  |\times (-4.5) \\
7.75x+4.5y=113.5 \\ \\
-4.5x-4.5y=-81 \\
\underline{7.75x+4.5y=113.5} \\
7.75x-4.5x=113.5-81 \\
3.25x=32.5 \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \  |\div 3.25 \\
x=10

The polynomial has terms xy, 3x^2, -7 and x. The term with the highest exponent sum is xy or 3x^2. Both have degree 2. The degree of the polynomial is 2.

To get from one town to another, Jack must travel 7 miles east and 24 miles south. What is the direct distance between the two t
Step2247 [10]
The 7 miles and 24 miles make up two "legs" of a right triangle.
The third side (or hypotenuse) is the distance between the towns.
distance^2 = 7^2 + 24^2
distance^2 = 49 + 576
distance^2 = 625
distance = square root of 625 or 25
