Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:
Grandma Gertrude gives 13 and Fien gives y.
The total amount of jewelry divided evenly between the 5 sisters:

Nothing further can be done without knowing another value.
...6 and 10 are roots, so x – 6 and x – 10 are factors.
y = a(x – 6)(x – 10).....plug in the point (8, 2) and solve for a:
2 = a(8 – 6)(8 – 10)
2 = –4a
a = –1/2
...y = (–1/2)(x – 6)(x – 10)
...y = (–1/2)(x² – 16x + 60)
...y = (–x²/2) + 8x – 30 <<<------Answer, or:
...y = (–1/2)(x – 8)² + 2 <<<------Answer
The answer is -8
I found my answer by using desmos. It is the best app for graphing. I wrote the equation and then I looked for the point 18 on the y axis and then I looked where it was on the x axis
that is how I found my answer.
Answer:
3. x=16
4. x=51
Step-by-step explanation:
3. 3x-8=x+24
2x=32
x=16
4. 2/3(x+27)= 180-(3x-25)
2/3x+18=180-3x+25
11/3x=187
11x=561
x=51
Perpendicular = Negative Reciprocal
-3 --> -1/3 ---> 1/3
Therefore it is C
