Hey there,
There are 2 ways
1st way:
Since there are 8 5 point problems, 38 - 8 = 30, will give you the 2 point problems.
2nd way:
8 x 5 = 40
100 - 40 = 60
60 / 2 = 30
Thus there are 30, 2 point problems.
Hope this helps :))

Answer: -120
Step-by-step explanation:
this would be the answer because if you take a positive and add it to a negative you get zero if their the additive inverse of the number.
if we zero out f(x), namely make y = 0, we can get the roots or x-intercepts for this quadratic equation

now, the equation is in x-terms, meaning is a vertically opening parabola, so the axis of symmetry will be x = something, a vertical line.
well, we have two x-intercepts, one at -4 and another at 2, and the vertex is right half-way between those guys
-4------------(-1)------------2
so the vertex is at x=-1, namely the axis of symmetry is x = -1.
