C is your answer. 5x + 2 = 17

First let’s get them all in terms of x:
Box kites = 3x
Dragon kites = x + 2
Butterfly kites = x

Adding all those up:

x + 3x + x + 2 = 17
Combine like terms:
5x + 2 = 17

Hello and Good Morning/Afternoon

<u>Let's take this problem step-by-step</u>:

<u>To find the solution to a system of equation</u>

  ⇒ <em>must set</em> the equations equal to each other

     ⇒ and solve

<u>Let's put that into action</u>

  x^2-2x+3 = -2x + 12\\x^2-2x+2x+3-12=0\\x^2-9=0\\(x+3)(x-3)=0

  • At this point, to make the whole thing equal zero

          ⇒ either 'x+3' or 'x-3' equals zero

              ⇒ must find 'x' that satisify either equation

                    x-3=0\\x=3\\\\x+3=0\\x=-3

<u>Let's find the corresponding f(x) to each x-value</u>

  f(3) = -2(3)+12=-6+12 = 6\\\\f(-3) = -2(-3) + 12=6+12=18

<u>Therefore the solutions are (3,6) and (-3,18)</u>

<u />

<u>Answer: (3,6), (-3,18)</u>

<u></u>

Hope that helps!

Explanation please I need to know how you got the answer thank you!
Blababa [14]

Answer:

19.6, B

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve, we need to figure out how many gallons of white paint she needs for every gallon of brown paint.

We are given this equation.

5 gallons of brown paint = 7 gallons of white paint

Divide both sides by 5.

1 gallon of brown paint = 7/5 gallons of white paint = 1.4 gallons of white paint

Now, using this, substitute 14 into the left side.

14 gallons of brown paint = 1.4 * 14 gallons of white paint

14 gallons of brown paint = 19.6 gallons of white paint

Thus, the answer is B, 19.6 gallons
