Answer:
x = -19/2 y = -33/2
Step-by-step explanation:
x - (3x + 12) = 7
x - 3x - 12 = 7
-2x - 12 = 7
-2x = 19
x = -19/2
x - y = 7
-19/2 - y = 7
-y = 33/2
y = -33/2
No because the sum could also be irrational number which for example it could be square root of 9 or 49
Hope this helps answer your question
Answer:
A.
Step-by-step explanation:
you have to find the discriminant
b²-4ac for each equation
if discriminant < 0 no real solutions because will be negative under the squareroot whhan you try to find the roots
if discriminant = 0 there is only one solution
if discriminant > 0 two real solutions
for your given problems
A. discriminant =(-2)²-4*2*15 will be negative

Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
(a)There are 24 cakes in total
(b)There are 15 pieces of cakes left
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the total cakes=x
Let number of cakes eaten by Mindy=m
Let number of cakes eaten by Troy=t
Now:
m=3
Since m+t=9
3+t=9
t=9-3=6
The Number of Pieces of Cake Left in Total=x-(t+m)
Since Troy had 
of the total cake
x=6X4=24
(a)There are 24 cakes in total
(b)The Number of Pieces of Cake Left in Total=x-(t+m)=24-9=15 cakes
