You find the overall change in temperature by adding them together.
-8 would be from were is decreased 8 degrees and +8 would be from where it increased 8 degrees
Like: -8+8=0
The solution set is basically when are they equal. to figure this out we must set them equal. So so we will move some stuff around
x+y=5
y=5-x
y=x^2-25
we know that when they are equal their x and y values are equal. So so we know that their y values are the same so we can say:
y=y
this does not direarly help but looking above we know what both of the y's equal. so:
5-x = x^2-25
we want to set this equal to zero
0 = x^2 +x - 30
now we factor
0 = (x + 6) * (x - 5)
the only way to multiply 2 things together and get zero is for one of those things to equal 0. So so we know that to be zero one of the answers in parenthesis has to equal 0. so:
0 = (x + 6 =0) * (x - 5=0)
So now we solve for both parenthesis
x+6=0
x=-6
x-5=0
x=5
x=-6,5
It will take him at least a year.
Answer:
if my calculations are correct the answer should be B!!
Step-by-step explanation:
We can check this two ways: distributing the -0.5, and plugging in a number for x.
First, we can check this by distributing the -0.5. Our equation becomes:
-1.5x -2.5 = -1.5x + 2.5
Clearly, this is not true. We can show this one more time by plugging in a number for x. I will use 2.

Now, we evaluate both sides and see if they are equal.
-3 - 2.5 = -3 + 2.5
-5.5 = 0.5
Clearly, this is not true. These expressions are not equivalent.
