Use the graph to find the solution of the system of equations {y = x^2 + 6x + 8 {y = x + 4
Phantasy [73]
Essentially when people ask you find the solution to system of equation, there asking at what x value do these to graphs intersect. The easiest way to do this is to get a graphing calculator, or desmos and type in the equation and find where they intersect. Heck, even the question says to solve it with a graph, but I'll demonstrate it algebraically.

One way you can do this is set the equation equal to each other. This is because you want to know at what x-value has the same y-value. So we get:

x^2 + 6x + 8 = x + 4

We can then combine like terms, or move everything to one side. So we get:

x^2 + 5x + 4 = 0.

Then we can use the quadratic formula to solve for x.

x=(-5 +/- sqrt(5^2 - 4(1)(4)))/(2(1)

This simplifies into:

(-5 +/- 3)/2

Finally we add and subtract:

(-5 + 3)/2 = x = -1
(-5 - 3)/2 = x = -4

And our solution is x = -1, x = -4

Molly was on a long 136 mile road trip. The first part of the trip there was lots of traffic, she only averaged 16 mph. The seco
Mazyrski [523]

Answer:

In traffic, she drove for 3 hours

and After the traffic cleared she drove for 2 hours.

Explanation:

Given that the road trip was 136 miles;

d=136

The first part of the trip there was lots of traffic, she only averaged 16 mph;

v_1=16

The second part of the trip there was no traffic so she could drive 44 mph;

v_2=44

She traveled for a total of 5 hours;

t=5

let x represent the time in traffic when she traveled at 16 mph

t_1=x

the time the traffic is clear would be;

t_2=t-t_1=5-x

Recall that distance equals speed multiply by time;

d=v_1t_1_{}_{}^{}+v_2t_2

substituting the values;

136=16x+44(5-x)

solving for x;

\begin{gathered} 136=16x+220-44x \\ 44x-16x=220-136 \\ 28x=84 \\ x=\frac{84}{28} \\ x=3 \end{gathered}

So;

\begin{gathered} t_1=3\text{ hours} \\ t_2=5-x=5-3=2 \\ t_2=2\text{ hours} \end{gathered}

Therefore, In traffic, she drove for 3 hours

and After the traffic cleared she drove for 2 hours.

PLEASE HELP !!!!!!!!!! Jonas used linear combination to solve the system of equations shown. He did so by multiplying the first
OverLord2011 [107]
This question is worded slightly strangely but I believe I understand it. 
To eliminate x, multiply the second equation by 8, so that it becomes 4x + .8y= 96
Then you can subtract 4x on the top by 4x on the bottom to eliminate it.
