Don't worry about the answer choice that is highlighted : )

B: {(3,1), (7,9)}

Step-by-step explanation:

For equation 2x-y=5, we can isolate y, so it's easier to solve later:

y = 2x - 5

y = (x - 4)^2

Now, notice that both equations are equal to y, so we can set them equal to each other:

(x-4)^2 = 2x-5

x^2-8x+16 = 2x - 5

x^2-10x+21=0

Now, we can factorize by finding 2 numbers that multiply to 21 and add up to -10:

(x-3)(x-7)=0

x=3 or x=7

Since B is the only one with the x values of 3 and 7, the answer must be B.

But to further check our answer, we can plug x back to any of the equations above to check for y:

(3-4)^2 = 1

(7-4)^2 = 9

Therefore, we can confirm that the answer is B.

you forgot the options, but i found them anyways, the correct answer is "john wilson believes that words and actions based on the intellect are superior to those based on emotions".

john wilson is depicted as an extremely intelligent man. the point of the excerpt is to make a sort of distinction between emotional and rational intelligence. he happens to have both attributes, but he clearly favors his intellectual gifts. at the same time, because of his religious background, he's a little bit conflicted with this and it makes him ashamed.

hope this !
