Explain how you can determine the number of real number solutions of a system of equations in which one equation is linear and the other is quadratic–without graphing the system of equations.

Three students, javier, sam, and corrine, participated in a fundraiser where people donated a certain amount of money per lap that the student ran. each student also had some initial donations that were collected before the run. the equations that represent each student's total donation, y, based on the number of laps ran, x, is shown below. match each equation with the correct rate of change for that student.
