C, if you show a picture maybe I can answer it correctly
Easiest way is if you substitute each point (x,y) into each set of equations and both points work for both equations in the system of equations, then it is the correct answer
Otherwise substitute one equation for y in the other equation:
2x + 6 = x^2 + 5x + 6
-2x - 6. -2x -6
0 = x^2 + 3x. Factor
0 = x (x + 3)
Solve: x = 0. x + 3 = 0. ——> x = -3. Substitute into one original equation to get y value for
y = 2x + 6.
y = 2(0) + 6. y = 2(-3) + 6
y = 6. y = -6 + 6 —-> y = 0
(0 , 6) And. (-3 , 0)
Answer:
it would be 45 i think
Step-by-step explanation:
The answer is D. -24 - 49i/13
Since the numbers are consecutive, they must be near each other in size, and therefore near one-third of 168. And since the lower number is -2 off the middle, and the upper number is +2 from the middle, the middle number must be exactly one-third of 168—otherwise the sum of the three could never be 168. Labelling the three consecutive numbers as x, y, and z:
x + y + z = 168
(y-2) + y + (y+2) = 168.
3y = 168
y = 56
therefore the smallest number (x) = 54.
