The drop down menus are not provided. However, I will help get the solution of the system of equation which is the requirement of the question.
<u><em>Answer:</em></u>
(3,14) and (-2,-1) are the solutions of the system
<u><em>Explanation:</em></u>
<u>The first equation given is:</u>
y = x² + 2x - 1 .........> equation I
<u>The second given equation is:</u>
y - 3x = 5
<u>This can be rewritten as:</u>
y = 3x + 5 ..........> equation II
<u>Equate equations I and II and solve for x as follows:</u>
x² + 2x - 1 = 3x + 5
x² + 2x - 1 - 3x - 5 = 0
x² - x - 6 = 0
(x-3)(x+2) = 0
either x-3 = 0 .........> x = 3
or x+2 = 0 ...........> x = -2
<u>Now, we get the values of y by substituting in equation II as follows:</u>
At x = 3:
y = 3x + 5
y = 3(3) + 5
y = 14
The first solution is (3,14)
At x = -2:
y = 3x + 5
y = 3(-2) + 5
y = -1
The second solution is (-2,-1)
Hope this helps :)
The solution to the set of equations is (0,2).
Reasoning:
m + 4n = 8 -> 0 + 4(2) = 8
m = n - 2 -> 0 = 2 - 2
Let's call the Ameri-Mobile activation fee A, and the Cell-U-Later activation fee B.
Let's call the Ameri-Mobile monthly payment c, and the monthly Cell-U-Later monthly payment d
Let's call n the number of months
The cost of the Ameri-Mobile (in business, that's often called "total cost of ownership) is then:
(a + c * n)
<em>The cost of the plan after n months is the activation fee, plus each monthly payment times the number of months paid</em>
The cost of Cell-U-Later is, similarly:
(b + d * n)
You can even find out how many months you'd need to keep the plan for each plan to be equal (the longer you keep the plan, the better is the Cell-U-Later plan, because the activation fee distributes across a higher number of months), by plugging in numbers and solving this equation for n (but that's a bit more advanced):
a + c*n = b + d* n
Its either centimeters or inches.
I prefer centimeters
The slope is 2 hopefully this helps
