Answer:
D) b = 
Step-by-step explanation:
First, move all the terms that do not include b to the left side with S:
S = 2ab + 2bc + 2ac
S - 2ac = 2ab + 2bc
Now, factor out 2b from the right side:
S - 2ac = 2b(a + c)
Divide both sides by 2(a + c):
b = 
Finally, multiply out the denominator:
b =
If you see that 3x-3 and set it equal to x+7 then you will get this,
3x-3=x+7
Now solve for X. You will get 5.
Then you plug five in and get 12 For both sides and then multiply 12 by 4 and get 48.
You answer is 48.
Hope this helps you.
If you begin with the basic equation of a vertical parabola: y-k=a(x-h)^2, where (h,k) is the vertex, then that equation, when the vertex is (-3,-2), is
y + 2 = a (x + 3)^2. If we solve this for y, we get
y = a(x+3)^2 - 2. Thus, eliminate answers A and D. That leaves B, since B correctly shows (x+3)^2.
