Your friend is hitting a golf ball. The picture shows a line from your friend to the hole, and also a line to a tree and a line to a sand trap, which she wants to avoid. Use the picture and write a proportion to find the distance from the oak tree to the hole. (Find x.)

150

Step-by-step explanation: 250/ x = 375/225 equals 150 yards

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.
