Answer:
Second choice:


Fifth choice:


Step-by-step explanation:
Let's look at choice 1.


I'm going to subtract 1 on both sides for the first equation giving me
. I will replace the
in the second equation with this substitution from equation 1.

Expand using the distributive property and the identity
:




So this not the desired result.
Let's look at choice 2.


Solve the first equation for
by dividing both sides by 2:
.
Let's plug this into equation 2:



This is the desired result.
Choice 3:


Solve the first equation for
by adding 3 on both sides:
.
Plug into second equation:

Expanding using the distributive property and the earlier identity mentioned to expand the binomial square:



Not the desired result.
Choice 4:


I'm going to solve the bottom equation for
since I don't want to deal with square roots.
Add 3 on both sides:

Divide both sides by 2:

Plug into equation 1:

This is not the desired result because the
variable will be squared now instead of the
variable.
Choice 5:


Solve the first equation for
by subtracting 1 on both sides:
.
Plug into equation 2:

Distribute and use the binomial square identity used earlier:



.
This is the desired result.

Answer: 4051 girls, 4862 boys and 1570 adults over 50 years of age group attended the festival.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x denotes the number of girls.
Then, the number of boys = x+811
The number of adults over 50 years of age = x-2481
Now, by considering the given scenario :-

Thus, the number of girls attended the festival = 4051,
Then number of boys = 4051+811=4862
Number of adults = 4051-2481=1570
Answer:
state A = 32 votes, state B = 53 votes
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the number of electoral votes for state A be a and state B be b
a = b - 21
a + b = 85
Substituting a for b - 21 in the second equation
2b - 21 = 85
2b = 106
b = 53
Plugging b back in
85 - 53 = 32
