Answer:
-2,-1,1,2
Step-by-step explanation:
The term root is just another name for the x intercept so just look at where your line crosses the x axis and you will have your answer. Remember the y axis is not involved so it cannot be a co-ordinate.
8 units, what tends to help is to visualize or draw what the problem is asking of you.
Set up a system of equations:
s = 2d - 5
s + d = 43
Where 's' represents the number of points Stilt scored and 'd' represents the number of points Dunk scored.
Plug in 2d - 5 for 's' in the 2nd equation:
s + d = 43
2d - 5 + d = 43
Combine like terms:
3d - 5 = 43
Add 5 to both sides:
3d = 48
Divide 3 to both sides:
d = 16
Plug this back into any of the two equations to find 's':
s + d = 43
s + 16 = 43
Subtract 16 to both sides:
s = 27
So Dunk scored 16 points and Stilt scored 27 points.
