Since there are 3 "2's" and 8 total options, the probability is 3/8 or C.
Both
1 times a=a
and
b times 0=0
Add the five to each side.
then square it to get rid of the square root
2x+13=(5+x)^2
2x+13=x^2+10x+25
2x=x^2+10x+12
x^2+8x+12=0
(x+6)(x+2)
x+6=0
x+2=0
answers are -2 and -6, however, when pluging -6 in it doesnt work, so it is only -2.
Answer:
Answer is last alternative
scale factor (2)
4x=-3y+17 becomes 4x+3y=17
4x+3y=17
3x-4y=-6
alrighty
elimination
muliply first equation by 4 and 2nd by 3 and add them
16x+12y=68
9x-12y=-18
add them
25x+0y=50
25x=50
idivide both sides by 25
x=2
sub back
3x-4y=-6
3(2)-4y=-6
6-4y=-6
-4y=-12
y=3
(x,y)
(2,3)
