Answer:
-2
Step-by-step explanation:
Start with the vertex form of the equation of a parabola: y - k = a(x - h)^2
Here h = -2, k = -3, x = -1, y = -5. Find a:
-5 - [-3] = a(-1 - [-2])^2, or
-5 + 3 = a(1)^2, or
-2 = a
The unknown coefficient is -2.
I would choose A
You can simply try every answer and see which one gives you 16a-24ab
If the wall with 4 ft. of storage area can fit 6 sections of plant and the wall with 7 ft. Can fit 5, that means each section is 3 ft. because 7-4=3, so that extra section on the wall with 4 ft. You do this because there is one extra section on the wall with four. Knowing this, the wall with 7 ft. Would be the 7 ft. + 5 sections of 3 ft. So 7+(5x3) = 22. On the wall with 4 ft., do the same,
4+(6x3) =22. Since they are equal and the walls are supposed to be equal, we can confirm this is the right answer
Answer:
x = 8
Step-by-step explanation:
Simplifying
9x + -25 = 5x + 7
Reorder the terms:
-25 + 9x = 5x + 7
Reorder the terms:
-25 + 9x = 7 + 5x
Solving
-25 + 9x = 7 + 5x
Solving for variable 'x'.
Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right.
Add '-5x' to each side of the equation.
-25 + 9x + -5x = 7 + 5x + -5x
Combine like terms: 9x + -5x = 4x
-25 + 4x = 7 + 5x + -5x
Combine like terms: 5x + -5x = 0
-25 + 4x = 7 + 0
-25 + 4x = 7
Add '25' to each side of the equation.
-25 + 25 + 4x = 7 + 25
Combine like terms: -25 + 25 = 0
0 + 4x = 7 + 25
4x = 7 + 25
Combine like terms: 7 + 25 = 32
4x = 32
Divide each side by '4'.
x = 8
Simplifying
x = 8
