Micaela has a bat that is 30 inches long. she wants to fit it in a cube shaped box that has sides that are 17 inches. will the bat fit? justify your answer. 

No, the bat will not fit. Using the Pythagorean theorem, the length of a diagonal of a face of the box is about 24 inches, and the length of the diagonal of the cube is about 29.4 inches. This is less than the length of the bat.

5x+40

5(x + 8)

7x - 49

7(x - 7)

18x + 9

9(2x + 1)

15x - 10

5(3x - 2)

step-by-step explanation:

for number one all you have to do is factor 5 out of 5x + 40

for number 2 factor 7 out of 7x - 49

for number three factor 9 out of 18x + 9

for number four factor 5 out of 15x - 10

graphically?   well, you graph them both, the solutions is where they both intersect each other, since there are two solutions, meaning they will meet twice, or namely the linear will run into the quadratic curve twice, and where they meet, those x,y coordinates are the solutions to the system.
