A-b=21
5a-2b=18

We can use substitution here. Take the first equation and solve for A. (Picking this one because it's easy)

a = 21+b

Plugin to the second equation:5(21+b)-2b=18
Simplify: 105 + 5b - 2b = 18
Simplify: 105 + 3b = 18
Subtract both sides: 3b = 18-105
Simplify: 3b = -87
Divide: b = -29

Plug back into the first: a=21+b
a = 21 - 29
a = -8

Write x2 - 2x + 5 = 0 in vertex form. (Be sure to write your response in the form a(x-h)^2+k=0 with no spaces!)
Drupady [299]
To write the given quadratic equation to its vertex form, we first form a perfect square.
 
                x² - 2x + 5 = 0
Transpose the constant to other side of the equation,
                x² - 2x = -5
Complete the square in the left side of the equation,
              x² - 2x + (-2/1(2))² = -5 + (-2/1(2))² 
Performed the operation,
                x² - 2x + 1 = -5 + 1
Factor the left side of the equation,
               (x - 1)² = -4

Thus, the vertex form of the equation is,
          <em>  (x-1)² + 4 = 0</em>

Which of the following is true about a parallelogram?
insens350 [35]

Answer:

The diagonals bisect each other.

Step-by-step explanation:

Not all diagonals of a parallelogram are equal.

The only quadrilaterals with all four sides being congruent are rhombus and squares so parallelogram is wrong.

The diagonals of a parallelogram bisect each other.

The diagonals of a parallelogram are only perpendicular when it is a square.
