A^2 + 31 = 155  - I squared each of b and c for those numbers
a^2 = 155 - 31
a^2 = 124
a = 4 * sqrt(31)
        
             
        
        
        
It's basically asking you how far away is each dot. The graph goes by six. Good luck
        
             
        
        
        
Eliminate y's
multiply second equaiton by 4
4x+4y=-4
add to first equation
3x-4y=-24
<u>4x+4y=-4 +</u>
7x+0y=-28
7x=-28
divide both sides by 7
x=-4
sub back
x+y=-1
-4+y=-1
add 4 to both sides
y=3
(x,y)
(-4,3)

30 M&Ms
1) Gathering the data
12-ounce bag of trail mix = 18 M&Ms
20-ounce bag=?
2) Assuming that the M&Ms are placed in following a constant rate we can write the following proportion:
12 --------------- 18
20 --------------- y
<em>Cross multiplying it due to the first property of proportions</em>
<em />
12y =20 x 18
12y = 360
y=30
3) So, I'd expect to find 30 M&Ms at a 20-ounce bag of trail mix.
