<u>the correct question is</u>
The denarius was a unit of currency in ancient rome. Suppose it costs the roman government 10 denarii per day to support 4 legionaries and 4 archers. It only costs 5 denarii per day to support 2 legionaries and 2 archers. Use a system of linear equations in two variables. Can we solve for a unique cost for each soldier?
Let
x-------> the cost to support a legionary per day
y-------> the cost to support an archer per day
we know that
4x+4y=10 ---------> equation 1
2x+2y=5 ---------> equation 2
If you multiply equation 1 by 2
2*(2x+2y)=2*5-----------> 4x+4y=10
so
equation 1 and equation 2 are the same
The system has infinite solutions-------> Is a consistent dependent system
therefore
<u>the answer is</u>
We cannot solve for a unique cost for each soldier, because there are infinite solutions.
Answer:6 six graders were late. 10% would be 12, and half of that is 6. You need to divide that in half because 5 is half of 10.
In a graph the roots of the function are given by the cut points with the x axis.
On the other hand, we have the following equation:
y = -x2 - x + 6
To find the roots, we equate to zero:
-x2 - x + 6 = 0
Rewriting we have:
x2 + x - 6 = 0
(x-2) (x + 3) = 0
The roots are:
x1 = 2
x2 = -3
Answer:
The roots are:
x1 = 2
x2 = -3
