I'm pretty sure the answer is 15 base-ten blocks
Start by writing the system down, I will use
to represent 

Substitute the fact that
into the first equation to get,

Simplify into a quadratic form (
),

Now you can use Vieta's rule which states that any quadratic equation can be written in the following form,

which then must factor into

And the solutions will be
.
Clearly for small coefficients like ours
, this is very easy to figure out. To get 5 and 6 we simply say that
.
This fits the definition as
and
.
So as mentioned, solutions will equal to
but these are just x-values in the solution pairs of a form
.
To get y-values we must substitute 3 for x in the original equation and then also 2 for x in the original equation. Luckily we already know that substituting either of the two numbers yields a zero.
So the solution pairs are
and
.
Hope this helps :)

Answer:
The graph is constant in the interval [4,6]
Step-by-step explanation:
We are given that,
Taylor dropped a rubber ball from a height of 8 feet.
So, at time t= 0 sec, the ball is being thrown.
Now, the next events follows as below:
1. After a second, the ball hits the ground.
2. It bounces up to 5 feet in the next second.
3. The ball again hits the ground in the next second.
4. Now, the ball again jumps up to height 2.5 feet, when Taylor holds the ball for 2 seconds more.
So, we get the figure given below, we see that,
The graph is constant in the interval [4,6].
Step-by-step explanation:
3 1/2 = 7 /2
2 1/2 = 5 /2
7/2 - 5/2
= 2/2 = 1
