\text{Hey there!}

\text{The formula for distributing is: a(b +  c) = a(b) + a(c) = ab + ac}

\text{-2(x + 3)= 10}\\\text{Distribute: -2(x) + (-2)(3) = -2x - 6}\\\text{Your new equation: -2x - 6 = 10}\\\text{The opposite of subtraction is addition so add by 6 on your sides.}\\\text{-2x - 6 + 6 = 10 + 6}\\\text{Cancel out: -6 + 6 because it equals to 0}\\\text{Keep: 10 + 6 because it helps us solve for our x-value}\\\text{10 + 6 = 16}

\text{New equation: -2x = 16}\\\text{Divide by -2 on your sides}\\\dfrac{-2x}{-2}=\dfrac{16}{-2}\\\text{Cancel out:}\dfrac{-2x}{2}\text{ because it equals 1}\\\text{Keep:}\dfrac{16}{-2}\text{ because it helps us solve for the x-value}

x= \dffrac{16}{-2} \rightarrow16\div=2 =8\div-1\rightarrow-8

\boxed{\boxed{\bf{x = -8}}}\checkmark

\text{Good luck on your assignment and enjoy your day!}

-2x - 3 = 10 Distribute -2 to (x+3)

-2x = 7 Add 3 on both sides to __ isolate x

-2x/-2 = 7/-2 Divide -2 on both _ sides to isolate x

x = -3.5

Find the equation of the axis of symmetry and the coordinates of the vertex of the graph of the function.
alexira [117]

Answer:

b.  x = 0 ; (0,4)

Step-by-step explanation:

To quickly solve this problem, we can use a graphing tool or a calculator to plot the equation.

Please see the attached image below, to find more information about the graph .

The equation is:

y=2*x^2+4

We can appreciate that the axis of symmetry corresponds to the y-axis, which  is equal to the line x = 0

The vertex corresponds to the minimum point of the function.

V = (0,4)

Correct option: b.
