Answer:
D. x = 1.7 or x = 5.7
Step-by-step explanation:
The left side of the equation is graphed in blue. The right side of the equation is graphed in red.
The solution of the equation is the x (and y) that make both equations true.
On the graph these solutions are the points where the two graphs intersect.
Those two points have x values that are positive (and y's that are negative) Only answer D. has x-values that correspond to the x-values of the points of intersection.
Answer:
No real roots
Step-by-step explanation:
The given equations are:


We make y the subject in the first equation to get

We substitute into the second expression to get:

We expand to get:

Multiply through by 4 to get:


The discriminant is given by 


Since the discriminant is less than zero, the two curves never intersects.
Therefore the system has no real roots
Answer:
B. 1 and -2
Explanation:
First, add up the equations:
x-x+3y+y=4
4y=4
y=1
Now, plug y into any of the original equations above and solve for x:
-x+1=3
-x=2
x=-2
Therefore, the answer is B. 1 and -2
The answer is D. Final answer.
