12 because you multiply each side by six
Answer:
top right
Step-by-step explanation:
If you imagine yourself building with that model you can see its that one
Let
be the two numbers. We have two pieces of information:
(the difference between the two numbers is 2)
(their product is 224)
From the first equation, we can deduce 
If we plug this expression in the second equation, we have

If you solve this equation with the usual quadratic formula you get the solutions

So, you have the following couple of solutions, recalling that x is 2 more than y:

Answer:
6
Step-by-step explanation:
No exact amount of cookies so if its a large batch we'll say there is 45 cookies 45 divided by 1/3 is 15
So 15 divided by 2 1/2 = 6
So your answer is 6.

Step-by-step explanation:
I don't have graphing facilities but can give you the vertex and 1 other point.
Given a parabola in standard form
y = ax² + bx + c ( a ≠ 0 )
Then the x- coordinate of the vertex is
x = - 
y = - x² - 2x + 8 ← is in standard form
with a = - 1 and b = - 2 , then
x = -
= - 1
Substitute x = - 1 into the equation for corresponding value of y
y = - (- 1)² - 2(- 1) + 8 = - 1 + 2 + 8 = 9
vertex = (- 1, 9 )
To obtain another point substitute any value for x into the equation
x = 0 : y = 0 - 0 + 8 , then (0, 8 ) is a point on the graph
x = 2 : y = - (2)² - 2(2) + 8 = - 4 - 4 + 8 = 0 then (2, 0 ) is a point on the graph
