The variable for Maggie will be M and 2x-3 be her younger brothers age (<u>Twice her age). </u>We then would turn this into <u>an algebraic problem</u>. (m+2x -3=24).
3x-3=24, we would add 3 to both sides (-3 and 24). 24 + 3 equals 27, we now have to divide -3x and 27 on both sides, which equals <u>9. (x=9)</u>
-1 1, -2 2, 3 -3. Is this what you wanted? If no tell me in comments and maybe a can help fix.
1. The graph is a parabola.
2. The parabola opens up, because there's no negative number in front of
.
3. The vertext is (5,-1), because of the vertex form.
This means that that -1 will be the least y-value used on the graph and the garph will open up from there.
The range is (-1, infinity) or { y | y > -1 }.
