When rates are expressed as a quantity of 1, such as 2 feet per second<span> or </span>5 miles per hour<span>, they are called unit rates. If you have a multiple-unit rate such as 120 students for every 3 buses, and want to find the single-unit rate, write a ratio equal to the multiple-unit rate with 1 as the second term.</span>
Answer:
x = 1, y = 1
Step-by-step explanation:
Use system of equations to solve for x and y by using substitution

Part A)The given equation is:

The radicand or discriminant(d) of the equation will be:

Since the discriminant is equal to 0, the given quadratic equation has only 1 root. In other words we can say the the given equation is a perfect square.
Part B)The given equation is:

We can solve this expression by factorization. Factors of middle term are to be made in such a way that their product equals the product of first and third term and sum is equal to the middle term i.e. product should be 4x² and sum should be -4x.
So the two such terms are -2x and -2x. Using the factors and simplifying the equation by taking common we get:
