If you simplified a two-equation system and all variables were eliminated, two outcomes are possible.
If the final equation is a true equation, like 3=3, then the system has an <em>infinite number of solutions </em> (the equations graph the same line, and all points appear on both graphs)
If the final solution is a mathematically false equation, like 0=-8, the system has no solution. The lines are parallel and never intersect (have a solution)
Answer:
y = -1/2x^2 -5x -45/2
Step-by-step explanation:
Multiply it out and collect terms.
y = -1/2(x^2 +10x +25) -10 . . . . . expand the square
y = -1/2x^2 -5x -25/2 -20/2 . . . eliminate parentheses
y = -1/2x^2 -5x -45/2 . . . . . . . . collect terms
Answer:
80%
Step-by-step explanation:
All the other stuff, east/west, doesn't matter.
He drives 3 miles north, then later on he drives 4 more miles north:
3 + 4 = 7
The dog show is 7 miles north of his home.
