If you use the first answer, the equation becomes 2x + 2y = 16. You could subtract this from equation Q to eliminate x.
The second answer makes equation P -2x - 2y = -16. You could add this to equation Q to eliminate x. You can use both of these methods to eliminate the x term, but if you can only choose one, you should choose the second option.
The formula to finding a discriminant would be b^2-4ac, the b value of this trinomial being -5, the a value being 2, the c value being 3. Then, you plug the values in the equation and solve: (-5)^2-4(2)(3)
This would simplify to 1, meaning there are two solutions since the discriminant value is positive. If it is 0, there is one solution, if it is negative, then there are no real solutions.
h = t - 15
h + t = 33
Because we have a value of h, we can plug it into the second equation to solve for t.
t - 15 + t = 33
Add 15 to both sides.
t + t = 48
Combine like terms.
2t = 48
Divide both sides by 2.
t = 24
<h3>Thomas's age is 24.</h3>
4$ would be the cost of the item
Answer:
C.
Step-by-step explanation:
(f+g)(x) ➡ f(x) + g(x)
x/2 - 2 + 2x^2 + x - 3 = 2x^2 + 3x/2 -5
