Answer: 4
<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>
Melinda: y = 10x + 22
George: y = 13x + 10
13x + 10 = 10x + 22
<u>-10x </u> <u>-10x </u>
3x + 10 = 22
<u> -10 </u> <u> -10 </u>
3x = 12
<u>÷3 </u> <u> ÷3 </u>
x = 4
1. 
These two numbers are: -5 and -5
-5 + (-5) = -10
-5 * -5 = 25
so...
(x - 5)(x - 5)
To find the roots set the factored numbers equal to zero and solve for x:
x - 5 = 0
x = 5
2. 
This equation needs to be equal to zero, so bring -14 to the other side by adding 14 to both sides

Find two numbers that the sum is equal to 9 AND the multiplication of the numbers is 14
These numbers are 7 and 2
7 + 2 = 9
7*2 = 14
so...
(x + 2) (x + 7)
To find the roots set the each of the factored numbers equal to zero and solve for x:
x + 2 = 0
x = -2
x + 7 = 0
x = -7
3. 
This equation needs to be equal to zero, so bring 6x to the other side by subtracting 6x to both sides

In this equation you can factor out a 3 and an x:
3x (x - 2)
To find the roots set the each of the factored numbers equal to zero and solve for x:
3x = 0
3x/3 = 0/3
x = 0
x - 2 = 0
x = 2
Hope this helped!
You forgot to mention the graph.
So, I make the graph of both given functions and you will compare your graph with them.
First, y= -x-1 put y=0 you get point (-1,0) called x-intercept
put x=0 you get point (0,-1) called y-intercept
join both the points, you will get the graph
Graph is attached in the picture.
Second, y= x+1
put y=0 you get point (-1,0) called x-intercept
put x=0 you get point (0,1) called y-intercept
join both the points, you will get the graph
Graph is attached in the picture.
