Answer:
• Gayle: 14
• Crystal: 3
Step-by-step explanation:
Let g represent the number of paperclips Gayle has. Then 42/g is the number Crystal has. The relationship between the two numbers is said to be ...
g - (42/g) = 11
Multiplying by g gives ...
g^2 -42 = 11g
g^2 -11g -42 = 0 . . . . subtract 11 g to put into standard form
To factor this, you are looking for two factors of -42 that sum to -11.
-42 = -42·1 = -21·2 = -14·3 = -7·6
You can see that -14 and 3 sum to -11, so the factoring is ...
(g -14)(g +3) = 0
g = 14 . . . . . . . . . . makes the product zero. (The g=-3 solution is extraneous.)
Gayle has 14 paperclips and Crystal has 3.

Answer:
A. 3 bags of oranges, 4 bags of apples
Step-by-step explanation:
If O is number of bags of oranges and A is number of bags of apples:
O + A = 7
5O + 3A = 27
We can solve this system of equations with either substitution or elimination. I like to use substitution, but you can use whichever you prefer.
O = 7 − A
5 (7 − A) + 3A = 27
35 − 5A + 3A = 27
35 − 2A = 27
8 = 2A
A = 4
O = 7 − A
O = 3
Teresa bought 3 bags of oranges and 4 bags of apples.
