Answer:
Alexander is incorrect because the expressions are not equivalent.
Step-by-step explanation:
If the expression is evaluated for any value of x, y; the result will not be same.
For instance, let assume x = 1 and y = 2
3x + 4y = 3 + 4 = 7
(3)(4) + xy = (3)(4) + (1 * 2) = 12 + 2 = 14
So, the expressions are not the same and Alexander is incorrect.
We have been given a table that shows a linear relationship between x and y. We are asked to find the rate of change change of y with respect to x.
To solve our given problem, we will find the slope of the line passing through the given points.

Let us find slope of line using points
and
.




Therefore, the rate of change of y with respect to x is
.
22.5/(x-6) + 22.5/(x+6) = 9
multiply by x-6
=> (x-6)22.5/(x-6) + (x-6)22.5/(x+6) = 9(x-6)
=> 22.5 + (x-6)22.5/(x+6) = 9(x-6)
multiply by x+6
=> (x+6)22.5 + (x+6)(x-6)22.5/(x+6) = 9(x-6)(x+6)
=> (x+6)22.5 + (x-6)22.5 = 9(x-6)(x+6)
distribute
=> 22.5x+6(22.5) + 22.5x - 6(22.5) = 9(x^2 - 36)
=> 45x = 9x^2 - 9(36)
=> 0 = 9x^2 - 45x - 9(36)
divide by 9
=> 0 = x^2 - 5x - 36
=> 0 = x^2 - 5x - 36
=> 0 = (x - 9)(x + 4)
x=9 and -4
Answer:
System A has 4 real solutions.
System B has 0 real solutions.
System C has 2 real solutions
Step-by-step explanation:
System A:
x^2 + y^2 = 17 eq(1)
y = -1/2x eq(2)
Putting value of y in eq(1)
x^2 +(-1/2x)^2 = 17
x^2 + 1/4x^2 = 17
5x^2/4 -17 =0
Using quadratic formula:

a = 5/4, b =0 and c = -17

Finding value of y:
y = -1/2x


System A has 4 real solutions.
System B
y = x^2 -7x + 10 eq(1)
y = -6x + 5 eq(2)
Putting value of y of eq(2) in eq(1)
-6x + 5 = x^2 -7x + 10
=> x^2 -7x +6x +10 -5 = 0
x^2 -x +5 = 0
Using quadratic formula:

a= 1, b =-1 and c =5

Finding value of y:
y = -6x + 5
y = -6(\frac{1\pm\sqrt{19}i}{2})+5
Since terms containing i are complex numbers, so System B has no real solutions.
System B has 0 real solutions.
System C
y = -2x^2 + 9 eq(1)
8x - y = -17 eq(2)
Putting value of y in eq(2)
8x - (-2x^2+9) = -17
8x +2x^2-9 +17 = 0
2x^2 + 8x + 8 = 0
2x^2 +4x + 4x + 8 = 0
2x (x+2) +4 (x+2) = 0
(x+2)(2x+4) =0
x+2 = 0 and 2x + 4 =0
x = -2 and 2x = -4
x =-2 and x = -2
So, x = -2
Now, finding value of y:
8x - y = -17
8(-2) - y = -17
-16 -y = -17
-y = -17 + 16
-y = -1
y = 1
So, x= -2 and y = 1
System C has 2 real solutions
Answer: Both answers will be

Step-by-step explanation:
Since we have given that
Cost of soccer balls = $15
Cost of baseball = $6
Cost of sweat socks = $5
a) Mr. Tonkery bought x number of soccer balls and 3 base balls .
So, our algebraic expression will be

b) Dennis, Eddie and Felix are on a base ball team. They each bought a baseball and x pair of sweat socks .
Since there are 3 members in a base ball team ,
Number of base ball they will purchase is given by

Number of sweat socks they will bought is given by

Total number they will purchase is given by

Hence, both answers will be
