Answer:
Your answer should be B. x + -1 +- √17
Step-by-step explanation:
The piece of ribbon would be 75 inches. The ribbon would be 75 inches because 1 foot would be 12 inches and you would multiply 12 by 6 to get 72. Then, 1/4 of a foot would be 3 inches because you could divide 12 and 4(the denominator you are dealing with) to get 3. Then, add 72 + 3 to get 75. Hope this helps!
Answer: Yes, the point (3,4) is a solution to the system.
===================================================
Proof of this:
Replace x with 3 and y with 4 in the first equation
x+y = 7
3+4 = 7
7 = 7
This confirms the first equation. Repeat for the second equation
x-2y = -5
3-2(4) = -5
3 - 8 = -5
-5 = -5
We get true equations for both when we plug in (x,y) = (3,4). This confirms it is a valid solution to the system of equations. It turns out it's the only solution to this system of equations. Visually, the two lines cross at the single location (3,4).
Group and factor out the greatest common factor then combine. 6(3x+y)
