|x-10| when x = -8
| - 8 - 10 | = |-18| = 18 <==
Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:
Probability (P) is calculated as
P = 
The first required outcome is a red sweet from a total of 3 + 5 = 8
P( red) = 
There are now 2 red left and a count of 7, since 1 has been eaten, thus
P( second red ) = 
P( red and red ) =
×
=
= 
The standard form of a quadratic equation is

, while the vertex form is:

, where (h, k) is the vertex of the parabola.
What we want is to write

as

First, we note that all the three terms have a factor of 3, so we factorize it and write:

.
Second, we notice that

are the terms produced by

, without the 9. So we can write:

, and substituting in

we have:
![\displaystyle{ y=3(x^2-6x-2)=3[(x-3)^2-9-2]=3[(x-3)^2-11]](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Cdisplaystyle%7B%20y%3D3%28x%5E2-6x-2%29%3D3%5B%28x-3%29%5E2-9-2%5D%3D3%5B%28x-3%29%5E2-11%5D)
.
Finally, distributing 3 over the two terms in the brackets we have:
![y=3[x-3]^2-33](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=y%3D3%5Bx-3%5D%5E2-33)
.
