Eli and Samantha work at a dry cleaners ironing shirts. Eli can iron 20 shirts per hour, and Samantha can iron 35 shirts per hour. Samantha worked 2 more hours than Eli and they ironed 400 shirts between them. Write a system of equations that could be used to determine the number of hours Eli worked and the number of hours Samantha worked. Define the variables that you use to write the system.

x = ±sqrt(10)

step-by-step explanation:

5 - 2x² = -15

subtract 5 from each side

5-5 - 2x² = -15-5

-2x^2   = -20

divide by -2 on each side

-2x^2   /-2= -20/-2

x^2 =10

take the square root on each side

sqrt(x^2 )=±sqrt(10)

x = ±sqrt(10)

check:

5 - 2x² = -15

+sqrt(10)

5 - 2(sqrt(10))² = -15

5 -2(10) = -15

5 -20 = -15

-15 = -15

-sqrt(10)

5 - 2(-sqrt(10))² = -15

5 -2(10) = -15

5 -20 = -15

-15 = -15

c - they will have the same distribution

step-by-step explanation:

this is the only one that could make sense. : )

the answer to this would be 5x^3-6x^2-24 over 3x^2

hope this if needed hmu
