Answer:

Nick = 21 pencils

Lance = 63 pencils

Step-by-step explanation:

Nick = N

Lance = 3N

Nick + Lance = 84

Substitute

N + 3N = 84

Add

4N = 84

Divide both sides of the equation by 4

N = 21

Nick = 21 pencils

Lance = N(3) = 21(3) = 63 pencils

Hope this helps :)

Answer:

Let Lance represented by L and Nick represented by N

As per the statement:

Lance has three times as many pencils as Nick

⇒L = 3N         .....[1]

It is also given that:

They have 84 pencils together.

⇒L+N = 84               .....[2]

Substitute the equation [1] into [2] we have;

3N+N = 84

⇒4N = 84

Divide both sides by 4 we have;

N = 21

Substitute this in [1] we have;

L = 3(21) = 63

Therefore, Lance has 63 pencils and Nick has 21 pencils

The parabola opens upward has x = 2 as an axis of symmetry and contains the non -vertex points (1, 9) and (4, 27) write the equa
Sedaia [141]

Answer:

<h3>               f(x) = 6(x - 2)² + 3</h3>

Step-by-step explanation:

f(x) = a(x - h)² + k    - vertex form of the equation of the parabola with vertex (h, k)

"the parabola opens upward" means:  a>0

"the parabola has x = 2 as an axis of symmetry" means:  h = 2

so f(x) = a(x - 2)² + k

"the parabola contains the point (1, 9)" means:

9 = a(1 - 2)² + k

9 = a(-1)² + k

9 = a + k

k = 9 - a

"the parabola contains the point (4, 27)" means:

27 = a(4 - 2)² + k

so:

27 = a(2)² + 9 - a

27 = 4a + 9 - a

3a = 18

a = 6

and  k = 9 - 6 = 3

Therefore the vertex form for this parabola is:

                                     <u> f(x) = 6(x - 2)² + 3</u>
