Answer:
See attachment
Step-by-step explanation:
We want to graph the system
2x+y=8
-x+2y=6
Let us rewrite the lines in slope intercept form:
y=-2x+8

The first line has a slope of -2 and a y-intercept of 8
The second line has a slope of 1/2 and a y-intercept of 3
We can no graph the lines as shown in the attachment.
Answer:
(a) discriminant is positive, 76
(b) the above tells you there are two real roots
Step-by-step explanation:
the discriminant is 'b² - 4ac'
3x² - 2x - 6 = 0 ∴ a = 3, b = -2, c = -6
(-2)² - 4(3)(-6) = 4 + 72
X > -4 is the answer if you solve for x.
40.75 - 7.05= 33.7
33.7 / 2 = 16.85
16.85 ft. should be on each side of the 7.05 ft. bench
