We now have three equations, so we can solve them.

Let's define the length of the 3 boards in terms of x:

F=x

S=2x-3

T=2

F+S+T =26

x+2x-3+2 =26

3x =26+1=27

x =27/3 = 9 feet for First section

2x-3 =18-3 = 16 feet = Second

2 = Third

9+16+2 = 27

27 is the length of the shortest piece.

Which of the following is the graph of the quadratic function? y=x^2+4-12
tiny-mole [99]

Answer:

Graph B

Step-by-step explanation:

The solutions to a quadratic equation are the points on which we have the graph of the curve touching the x-axis

Now the first thing we will do here is to solve the quadratic equation graph;

x^2 + 4x -12 = 0

x^2 +6x - 2x -12 = 0

x (x + 6) -2(x + 6) = 0

(x-2)(x + 6) = 0

x = 2 or -6

So the graph that touches the x-axis at the points x = 2 and x = -6 is the solution to the quadratic equation

Graph B is the closest to what we have as answer

Genrish500 [490]

Answer:

660

Step-by-step explanation:

First, to find out how much money they have collected so far, you need to add 7100 + 1300 which is 8400. 8400= $8.40. So now you know that they have collected 8.40, you need to subtract 1500-840 which = 660

Hope this helps!
