Answer:
No solution
Step-by-step explanation:
If we substitute the y into the equation, we get 9x+3(-3x+4)=-7
If we distribute the 3, we get 9x-9x+12=-7
This then cancels out both 9x's and we are left with 12=-7, making it no solution.
Answer:
Quadratic Equations! Yes!
Step-by-step explanation:
Now, there are three methods to solving this:
1.Quadratic Formula
2.Factoring
3. Completing the square
Now, Based on the answers, I think it would be better if we used Quadratic Formula, as you cannot get the answer easily with factoring, and I'm a bit rusty on completing the square.
So, Quadratic Formula! To solve it using this method, we have to find x using this:
(the +- before the square root means it could be both positive or negative)
Where a, b are coefficients and c is a term(in a quadratic equation form:
)
So, we just have to input the stuff from our equation into the formula!

Now, we can simplify the square root of 32 into 4 times the square root of 2

And, we can divide 2 from it all!

So, there you have it! The Answer is C, or 3.
Hope this helps!
Jane has 20 pounds and Charlotte has 16 pounds
Let j = amount Jane has and c = amount Charlotte has
j - 2 = c + 2 if Jane gives Charlotte 2 pounds
j + 4 = 2(c - 4) if Charlotte gives Jane 4 pounds
j + 4 = 2c - 8
Subtract equation 1 from equation 3
6 = c - 10
c = 16
j = c + 4 = 20
