Hello!

To solve this we will use substitutions and a system of equations where L= length and w=width.

128=2L+2w
L=8+3w

We will substitute L with what it says it equals in the second equation.

128=2(8+3w)+2w
128=16+8w
112=8w
14=w

Now we find the length in the second equation.
L=8+42
L=50
Now we check the length and width in the original equation.
128=100+28
128=128

The length is 50 cm, and the width is 14.

Hope this helps!

Answer: 4x² + 3x + 52

Step-by-step explanation:

1. rearrange & simplify terms:

(4x² - 4 + 6) + (3x - 7² + 1) . . .

(4x² + 2) + (3x + 49 + 1) . . .

(4x²+2) + (3x + 50).

2. combine like terms in standard form:

<u>4x² + 3x + 52</u>

PLEASE HELP WITH ALGEBRA AND SHOW WORK :) an explanation would be nice too because this topic confuses me :/

A.

$f(t) = t^2 + 4t-14\\ f(t)=t^2+4t+4-18\\ f(t)=(t+2)^2-18$

B.

$f(x)=(x-h)^2+k \Rightarrow \text{vertex}=(h,k)\\\\ f(t)=(t+2)^2-18 \Rightarrow \text{vertex}=(-2,-18)$

It's a minimum, becuase $a=1>0$ .

C.

The axis of symmetry is $x=h$ . So, in this case, it's $x=-2$ .
