You work it backwards.

-- If there were 4 children and each child got 4 pieces,
then the children got (4 x 4) = 16 pieces altogether.

-- That's what was left after he took 2 pieces for himself. 
So he started with (16 + 2) = <em>18 pieces</em>.

So first 4 times 4 is 16 and then add 2 to get 18

15 POINTS!!!! BRAINLIEST FOR THE FIRST ANSWER!!! Solve 3-x/2≤18
Bumek [7]

Answer:

x\geq -30

Step-by-step explanation:

Work to isolate x on one side of the inequality:

3-\frac{x}{2} \leq 18\\3-18\leq \frac{x}{2} \\-15\leq  \frac{x}{2}\\-30 \leq x

Therefore the answer is all x values larger than or equal to -30

x\geq -30

Answer:

2x + x + 5 = 6x - 3x + 5

3x + 5 = 3x + 5

Here Both the side of equation are same ..

So, it have infinite solution....

What are the values of X and Z.
stiv31 [10]

Answer:

x = 12, z  = 86

Step-by-step explanation:

Two angles are called supplementary when their measures add up to 180 degrees.

(12x -58  + 13x - 62 ) = 180°

12 x + 13x -58 - 62 = 180°

25x - 120 = 180

25x = 180 + 120

x = 300/ 25

x = 12

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

(z° + 13x - 62) = 180

(z° + 13(12) - 62 )= 180

(z° +  156 - 62 )= 180

(z° + 94 ) = 180

z° = 180 - 94

z  = 86

Given the quadratic equation <img src="https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=y%20%3D%202%28x%20-1%29%5E%7B2%7D%20%2B%208" id="TexFormula1" tit

Answer:

Part 1) "a" value is 2

Part 2) The vertex is the point (1,8)

Part 3) The equation of the axis of symmetry is x=1

Part 4) The vertex is a minimum

Part 5) The quadratic equation in standard form is y=2x^{2}-4x+10

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

The equation of a vertical parabola into vertex form is equal to

y=a(x-h)^{2}+k

where

(h,k) is the vertex of the parabola

if a > 0 then the parabola open upward (vertex is a minimum)

if a < 0 then the parabola open downward (vertex is a maximum)

The equation of the axis of symmetry of a vertical parabola is equal to the x-coordinate of the vertex

so

x=h

In this problem we have

y=2(x-1)^{2}+8 -----> this is the equation in vertex form of a vertical parabola

The value of a=2

so

a>0 then the parabola open upward (vertex is a minimum)

The vertex is the point (1,8)

so

(h,k)=(1,8)

The equation of the axis of symmetry is x=1

The equation of a vertical parabola in standard form is equal to

y=ax^{2}+bx+c

Convert vertex form in standard form

y=2(x-1)^{2}+8

y=2(x^{2}-2x+1)+8

y=2x^{2}-4x+2+8

y=2x^{2}-4x+10

see the attached figure to better understand the problem
