Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
-5x+31+3x=3
move everthing to one side
-5+31+3x-3=0
add and subtract common terms
-2x+28=0
divide across by common denominator
-x+14=0
Solve for x
x=14
Answer:
<em>The coordinates of the vertex are (-1,-4).</em>
Step-by-step explanation:
<u>Equation of the Quadratic Function
</u>
The vertex form of the quadratic function has the following equation:

Where (h, k) is the vertex of the parabola that results when plotting the function, and a is a coefficient different from zero.
We are given the function:

We must transform the equation above by completing squares:
The first two terms can be completed to be the square of a binomial. Recall the identity:

Thus if we add and subtract 1:

Operating:

The trinomial in parentheses is a perfect square:

Adding 4:

Comparing with the vertex form of the quadratic function, we have the vertex (-1,-4).
The coordinates of the vertex are (-1,-4).
