Essentially when people ask you find the solution to system of equation, there asking at what x value do these to graphs intersect. The easiest way to do this is to get a graphing calculator, or desmos and type in the equation and find where they intersect. Heck, even the question says to solve it with a graph, but I'll demonstrate it algebraically.
One way you can do this is set the equation equal to each other. This is because you want to know at what x-value has the same y-value. So we get:
x^2 + 6x + 8 = x + 4
We can then combine like terms, or move everything to one side. So we get:
x^2 + 5x + 4 = 0.
Then we can use the quadratic formula to solve for x.
x=(-5 +/- sqrt(5^2 - 4(1)(4)))/(2(1)
This simplifies into:
(-5 +/- 3)/2
Finally we add and subtract:
(-5 + 3)/2 = x = -1
(-5 - 3)/2 = x = -4
And our solution is x = -1, x = -4
Answer:
You have to take 15 pens to get at least one red pencil.
Step-by-step explanation:
If there were one red and 6 green pens, there would be more red than green pens.
If there were 3 or more blue and thus 18 or more green pens, the number of pens would be over 20.
So there must be 2 blue, 12 green and thus 6 red pencils. So you have to take at least 15 pens to be sure that you got a red one.
