Use subtitution method to solve the problem.
First, change y to the value of x in order to find the exact value of x.
x + y = 4
y = 4 - x
Second, subtitute y with 4 - x from the first equation
y = -x² + 2x + 4
4 - x = -x² + 2x + 4
move all terms to the left side
x² - 2x - x + 4 - 4 = 0
x² - 3x = 0
x(x - 3) = 0
x = 0 or x = 3
Third, now we have 2 values of x. Find the value of y for each of x
For x = 0
y = 4 - x
y = 4 - 0
y = 4
For x = 3
y = 4 - x
y = 4 - 3
y = 1
The solution is (0,4) and (3,1). The answer is option b

Answer:
Karl works 7 hours a week
Step-by-step explanation:
Step 1: Determine total amount that Sally earns
Total amount Sally earns=rate per hour×number of hours worked(h)
where;
Rate per hour=$7 per hour
Number of hours worked=h
Replacing;
Total amount Sally earns=(7×h)=7 h
Step 2: Determine total amount Karl earns
Total amount Karl earns=rate per hour×number of hours worked
where;
rate per hour=$5
number of hours worked=2 more than Sally=h+2
replacing;
Total amount Karl earns=5(h+2)
Step 3: Equate Sally's total earnings to Karl's total earnings and solve for h
7 h=5(h+2)
7 h=5 h+10
7 h-5 h=10
2 h=10
h=10/2
h=5
Karl works (h+2) hours=(5+2)= 7 hours
Karl works 7 hours a week
