mr. Smith has twice as much money as mr. hairy the average amount of money they have is $489 how much money does mr. Smith have
1 answer:
Ok, so this one requires you to set up an equation that makes sense....(mr. Smith + mr. Harry)/2= 489...that is the average money from the problem....ok so let’s add some variables now and make it look like math. 2x is mr smith from the first sentence. X is mr. Harry. This yields
(2x+x)/2=489.....use inverse operations to yield
2x+x=978
Combine like terms to get
3x=978
Then divide by 3
To give you x=326
What does x tell you?
X= harry = 326
2x = Smith = 652
To check add them together and divide by 2 to get the average....489
(2x+x)/2=489.....use inverse operations to yield
2x+x=978
Combine like terms to get
3x=978
Then divide by 3

What does x tell you?
X= harry = 326
2x = Smith = 652

Add arrows to the two ends of the parabola.
Step-by-step explanation:
To sketch this quadratic function, we to connect three dots: the two roots and a vertex.
The given roots are -1 and 1.
Draw <u>two dots at the x-intercepts</u>, which are (-1, 0) and (1, 0).
Vertex dot: V (x, y)
The vertex x-coordinate always in the middle of the two roots. The middle of -1 and 1 is 0. That's the same as the y-axis.
V (0, y)
Since the function increases when x < 0, the parabola will <u>open up</u>.
We read from left to right. The greater numbers are towards the top of the page.
<u>You can put the vertex anywhere on the y-axis that is below the x-axis.</u>
