Presuming that "One piece is 24 less than double the other piece" ACTUALLY means "One piece is 24 INCHES less than double the other piece" proceed as follows:

Remembering that 24 inches is actually 2 feet, let represent the measure in feet of one of the pieces and then is the measure, in feet, of the other piece. Then:

Let represent the first odd integer. Then the second odd integer is .

The first one squared is:

The second one squared is:

The sum is:

And the sum is equal to 74, so:



Divide by 2:



Factor and solve the quadratic.

2nd degree equation, so it is a conic.

Contains both x-squared and y-squared terms, so NOT a parabola

Signs on the x-squared and y-squared terms are the same, so NOT a hyperbola

Coefficients on the x-squared and y-squared terms are different, so NOT a circle

Only thing left is an ellipse.

Travel_Word_Problems/450282: George a race-walker, is on one end of a 6 mile track. John a average walker is on the other end of the track. The two start walking towards each other and meet in 1/2 hour. If George's average speed exceeds John's by 6 mph, find the speed of both walkers. How do I set up and solve the equation?
This is what I came up with: r+6= rate of George

Nothing whatsoever wrong about the way you did the problem. Actually, this is a two-by-two linear system problem that lends itself neatly to solution by the Substitution method. You simply skipped the step of writing the quantity equation that relates the two speeds, solving that equation for one of the speeds, and then substituting the expression into your second equation. But there is nothing wrong with that approach when the relationships are this simple.

Let represent the amount charged per mile. Let represent the daily fee.

In the first situation, where the mileage fee represents the cost of traveling 300 miles, that cost can be expressed as . That is, the number of miles traveled times the cost per mile. Furthermore, the cost for the daily fee for the 3 days is represented by , i.e. the number of days times the daily fee. The sum of the two is given as $69, hence:



In a similar fashion, we can derive another equation that describes the second situation:



Now all you have to do is solve the system for the ordered pair . Hint: Since the larger coefficient on is an integer multiple of the other, this system lends itself nicely to the Elimination method. Just multiply the first equation by -2 and proceed.

I presume you have a set of ordered pairs to test. Otherwise you are in for a very LONG night since the solution set has infinite elements.

Take the first value in an ordered pair you want to check and substitute it for x. Take the second value from that same ordered pair and substitute it for y. If the result is a true statement, then the ordered pair is an element of the solution set. Otherwise not. Note the "strictly less than" relationship -- 24 is NOT less than 3 times 8 for example, so the ordered pair (8,24) would NOT be in the solution set, whereas (8,23.99999999999999999999999999999999999) would be.

The first 5 perfect squares are:
1, 4, 9, 16, and 25.

You won't need the 6th one because it is larger than the largest of your choices.

Start with your first one, 13.

13 minus 1 is 12. 1 is a perfect square, 12 is not.
13 minus 4 is 9. 4 is a perfect square, 9 is a perfect square, so 13 is the sum of two perfect squares. Eliminate this choice.

17 minus 1 is 16. 1 and 16 are perfect squares. Eliminate choice.

Keep going until you find one that is not the sum of two perfect squares. I can say that there is only one in the given list of numbers, but I wouldn't trust me if I were you -- check them all.

Before you start, you need to determine which of your variables will be the independent variable (on the horizontal axis) and which will be the dependent variable on the vertical axis. The one you choose to be independent is analogous to the x variable in the following discussion. The other one is the y variable.

Start with either one of your equations.

Step 1. Pick a value for x. It can be anything you like, but 0, 1, or some other small integer usually works well and makes the arithmetic easier.

Step 2. Substitute that value in place of x in your equation. Do the arithmetic and determine the value of y that results.

Step 3. Take the value of x that you selected for step 1 and the value of y that you calculated in step 2 and form an ordered pair (x,y).

Step 4. Plot the ordered pair from Step 3 on your graph. Remember that the x value is the distance right or left along the horizontal axis and the y value is the distance up or down along the vertical axis.

Step 5. Repeat steps 1 through 4 with a different value for x.

Step 6. Draw a line across your graph that passes through the two points that you plotted.

Step 7. Repeat steps 1 through 6 using the other equation.

The point where the lines intersect is the solution, because the coordinates of that point will satisfy (read: make true) both of your equations. You need to determine, by inspection of the graph, what the coordinates of that point are and report your answer as an ordered pair, (x,y), using those coordinates. To check your answer, you should substitute this set of coordinates into each of your original equations and verify that you have a true statement for each of the equations.

If both lines graph to the same line, then the solution set is infinite, i.e. every ordered pair that satisfies one equation will satisfy the other. If the lines are parallel, then the solution set is empty.

A consistent system has at least one solution.

An inconsistent system has no solutions.

An independent system has exactly one solution.

A dependent system has infinitely many solutions.

Therefore a system can be either consistent and independent, consistent and dependent, or inconsistent.
