You have to distribute the 7 to x and 2 so :
7x+14=2x-1
Add one to both sides (inverse operations)
7x+14=2x-1
+1 +1
7x+15=2x
Cross Cancel by subtracting 7x from both sides
7x+15=2x
-7x -7x
15=-5x
Divide by -5
15/-5= -5/-5
X= -3

An umbrella sprinkler is positioned on a ceiling at a point whose x- coordinate is 0. Negative values of a indicate distances, i
vodka [1.7K]

Answer:

-1/4x² + 3

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

Path of sprinkler is modeled by the quadratic function :

w(x) = -1/4(x^2 -12 )

w(x) = height of the water, in meters, at position x

The height of ceiling as a constant or Coefficient = w(x)

Expanding w(x)

-1/4(x^2 -12 )

-1/4 * x² + 1/4 * 12

-1/4x² + 3

The height of ceiling is -1/4x² + 3
