two lines, a and b, are represented by the equations given below:

line a: y = x – 6

line b: y = 3x + 4

which of the following shows the solution to the system of equations and explains why?

(–5, –11), because the point satisfies both equations

(–5, –11), because the point does not lie on any axis

(–3, –5), because the point satisfies one of the equations

(–3, –5), because the point lies between the two axes

ANSWER

(–5, –11), because the point satisfies both equations

EXPLANATION

The given equations are:

Line A: y = x – 6

Line B: y = 3x + 4

We substitute (-5,-11) into both equations.

Line A: -11 = -5– 6

This implies that,

-11=-11

This statement is true.

Line B: -11= 3(-5)+ 4

-11= -15+ 4

-11=-11

This is also true.

Since this point ,(&6,-11) satisfy both equations, it is their solution.

square root

step-by-step explanation:

x= -3 and

step-by-step explanation:

to find the roots of a cubic, use division or factoring to find the factors then set equal to 0. as this is a difference of cubes, it factors into

where a is the cube root of .

here   this is 27 and the cube root of 27 is 3. so we write using the form:

.

set each factor to 0 and solve for x.

x-3=0

x=3

the quadratic expression does not factor and must be solved using the quadratic formula.

where a = 1, b=3, and c=9

this cubic has two complex roots.
