CD is called the middle base and is equal to :(AB + EF)/2
CD = <span>(AB + EF)/2
4x = [(x</span>²+10) + (8-x)]/2
8x = x²+10+8-x
8x= x²-x+18
x²-9x+18 = 0
x' = [-b+√(b²-4.a.c)]/2a & x" = [-b-√(b<span>²-4.a.c)]/2a
x'= 6 and x" = 3, So we have2 values of x</span>
<span>(Y-3)^2 = 4y -12 <=> Y^2 - 6Y + 9 = 4y - 12 <=> 4y = Y^2 - 6Y + 21 <=> y = (Y^2 - 6Y + 21)/4. Solving the equation for y means that we have to express y relative to the other quantities in the equation.</span>
What do you mean? If you want it in order than you can say it. -17, -10.5, -4, 2.5, 9
X-3y=-5
-(x+3y=1)
-------------
-6y=-6
y=1
x=-2
