1.Work Sample Question - Justify your answer mathematically to earn full credit. The pine tree has 37 birds perched on its branches. There are 7 more pigeons than 9 times as many magpies. How may pigeons and magpies are in the perched in the pine tree? Show all steps to solving the system of equations to determine the number of pigeons, p, and magpies, m, perched in the pine tree.
System of Equations
p + m = 37
p = 9m + 7

answer is the third choice:

3x^5+4x^4+x^3+2x^2-10x-7=0

step-by-step explanation:

proportions are fractions that equal to each other. so if two fractions are the same, they are proportional.

let's check the answers to see if they are proportional.

question a is not proportional because you can't turn 1.5/3 to 3/9. if you try to multiply 1.5/3 by 2 or 3, you wont get 3/9. it's impossible to make the fractions the same.

question b is not proportional because you can't turn 22/33 to 4/6. 33 can't go into 6.

question c is proportional because when you multiply 2 and 3 by 71, you would get 142/213, and those fractions equal to each other

question d is proportional because when you divide 14 and 7 by 2, you would end up with 7/3.5, and those fractions equal to each other.
