Answer:

The correct answer is D) (-2, -1)

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to solve this system of equations, start by multiplying the entire first equation by 2. Then add the two equations together. This will get the y's to cancel and allow you to solve for x.

-4x + 2y = -10

3x - 2y = 12

---------------------

-x = 2

x = -2

Now that we have the value for x, we can find y by plugging the x value into either equation.

-2x + y = -5

-2(2) + y = -5

-4 + y = -5

y = -1

What are the side lengths of the equilateral triangle?

Alchen [17]

$5x + (6x - 5) + (3x + 10) = 360$

$5x + 6x - 5 + 3x + 10 = 360$

$11x - 5 + 3x + 10 = 360$

$14x + 5 = 360$

$14x = 360 - 5$

$14x = 355$

$x = 25.36$

$x = 25.36$

$5x = 5 \times 25.36 = 126.8$

$6x - 5 = 6 \times 25.36 - 5 = 147.16$

$3x + 10 = 3 \times 25.36 + 10 = 86.08$

Answer:

Option A:

y = 3*(x - 5)^2 - 4

Step-by-step explanation:

For a quadratic equation:

y = a*x^2 + b*x + c

with the vertex (h, k), we can rewrite the function as:

such that:

h = -b/2*a

y = a*(x - h)^2 + k

Here we have the function:

y = 3*x^2 - 30*x + 71

the x-value of the vertex will be:

h = -(-30)/(2*3) = 30/6 = 5

And k is given by:

k = y(5) = 3*(5)^2 - 30*5 + 71 = -4

Then the vertex is:

(5, - 4)

And we can rewrite the equation in the vertex form as:

y = 3*(x - 5)^2 + (-4)

y = 3*(x - 5)^2 - 4

Then the correct option is A.
