What do 16 and 24 have in common

  both are positive even composite integers with a common factor of 8.

Step-by-step explanation:

Both are positive even composite integers with a common factor of 8. They are solutions to the quadratic equation (x-16)(x-24) = 0. Their cube roots (or any root of index greater than 2) are irrational. They are divisors of 48.

There are also many things that both numbers are not. They are not the lengths of sides of a right triangle with integer side lengths. They are not negative or irrational. They are not triangle numbers or elements of the Fibonacci sequence.

(0,-3) see attached graph

step-by-step explanation:

a. to solve the system, graph the two equations.

x = y+3 becomes y=x-3 has m=1/1 and b=-3. start at (0,-3) on the y-axis and plot a point. then move up 1 unit and 1 unit to the right. plot a point and connect.

y=-4x+3 has m =-4/1 and b=-3. start at (0,-3) on the y-axis and plot a point. then move down four units and to the right 1 unit. plot a point and connect.

the solution is the point (x,y) where the two lines intersect. by the graph below it is (0,-3).

b. to solve by substitution, substitute y = -4x-3 into x= y+3

x= (-4x-3) +3

x=-4x

5x=0

x=0

now substitute x = 0 back in to find y.

y= -4(0)-3

y=0-3

y=-3

solution is (0,-3)

c. use elimination by adding the equations together.

x-y=3

4x+y=-3

5x=0

x=0

then substitute into one equation to find y.

y=-4(0)-3

y=-3
