2×9= 18

18÷9= 2

Answer: 2 cups of fruit punch.

----------

Explanation: so, you divide. why do I know this? because it doesn't say "times," (multiplication word) "more than," (addition word) "less than/ left over." (subtraction word) so what your looking for is "equally," and "each."

So, can you do 2÷9? no, you cant. so you have to multiply 2×9 to get the answer. and what's the answer? 18!

so, now, can you divide 18÷9? yes!! why? because you can only divide big numbers like 18. and you can't divide small numbers like 2 or 9. do you get what I'm saying?

so, what's 18÷9? 2!!

I hope this helps! :) if you still don't understand it just please let me know :)

By graphing both equations, we see that the solutions of the system of equations are (1.05, 4.05) and (-4.97, - 1.97)

<h3>How to solve the system of equations?</h3>

Here we have the system of equations:

y = x + 3

y = 13*(x + 5)*(x - 1).

To solve this system graphically, we need to graph both equations and see where the curves intercept.

The graph of the two equations can be seen below.

There are two solutions, one is (1.05, 4.05) and the other is (-4.97, - 1.97)
