What value of a makes the solution to the equation 5x-10=3x+a equal to 12

Mathematics
1 answer:
Illusion [34]3 years ago
6 0

Answer:

a=-1.2

Step-by-step explanation:

5x-10=3x+a=12

let's first find x:

5x-10=12

add 10 to both sides:

5x=22

divide both sides by 5:

x=4.4

now that we know what x is, we can plug it back into the equation to find a:

3*4.4+a=12

first, simplify both sides:

13.2+a=12

then, subtract 13.2 from both sides:

and our answer is: a=-1.2

Find the vertex form of a parabola with a vertex of (-2, 12)<br> that passes through (-4, 0)
tia_tia [17]

Answer:

y = - 3(x + 2)² + 12

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of a parabola in vertex form is

y = a(x - h)² + k

where (h, k) are the coordinates of the vertex and a is a multiplier

Here (h, k) = (- 2, 12), thus

y = a(x + 2)² + 12

To find a substitute (- 4, 0) into the equation

0 = a(- 2)² + 12, that is

4a + 12 = 0 ( subtract 12 from both sides )

4a = - 12 ( divide both sides by 4 )

a = - 3

y = - 3(x + 2)² + 12 ← equation in vertex form
