0.05 = 5% = 5/100
Simplify 5/100 and you get 1/20.
Hope this helps & good luck. :)
4, 7 and 9 are mutually coprime, so you can use the Chinese remainder theorem.
Start with
Taken mod 4, the last two terms vanish and we're left with
We have 
, so we can multiply the first term by 3 to guarantee that we end up with 1 mod 4.
Taken mod 7, the first and last terms vanish and we're left with
which is what we want, so no adjustments needed here.
Taken mod 9, the first two terms vanish and we're left with
so we don't need to make any adjustments here, and we end up with 
.
By the Chinese remainder theorem, we find that any 
such that
is a solution to this system, i.e. 
for any integer 
, the smallest and positive of which is 149.
In order to utilize the graph, first you have to distinguish which graph accurately pertains to the two functions.
This can be done by rewriting the equations in the form y = mx + b which can be graphed with ease; where m is the slope and b is the y intercept.
-x^2 + y = 1
y = x^2 + 1
So this will be a basic y = x^2 parabola where the center intercepts on the y axis at (0, 1)
-x + y = 2
y = x +2
So this will be a basic y = x linear where the y intercept is on the y axis at (0, 2)
The choice which depicts these two graphs correctly is the first choice. The method to find the solutions to the system of equations by using the graph is by determining the x coordinate of the points where the two graphed equations intersect.
3a^3 is the answer
Hope that helps
