So check the picture below
if we check the solutions or zeros for the equation, we get

and as you can see in the picture, the value of "x" when y = 3.5, or the height of the truck is

the truck, ends up with a clearance of

on either side, so, the maximum clearance, the truck can have, those two clearances added together,
it is greater than because when you multiply 8 by 3 you get 24
and you get the 3 because 3 feet make 1 yard.
Answer:
19 1-point shots and 32 2-point shots
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x be the amount of 1-point shots they made and y be the amount of 2-point shots they made then...
x+y=51
x+2y=83
We can solve this equation using elimination. In this case, we can eliminate x be subtracting the two equations.
-y=-32
Divide both sides by -1
y=32
Plug this back into the equation to solve for x
x+32=51
Subtract 32 from both sides
x=19
They scored 19 1-point shots and 32 2-point shots.
Answer:
x=7
Step-by-step explanation:
3(x+2) = 6x-15.
3x+6 = 6x-15
3x = 6x-21
-3x = -21
x = 7
Mowing 4 lawns in 6 hours gives a mowing rate of 6/4 = 1.5 hours per lawn.
To mow 9 lawns, you need 1.5*9 = 13.5 hours.
The answer is B.
