Assuming Nicole = x, Nancy = y

x + y = 18 \\ y = x + 3

Substitute that into
x + x + 3 = 18 \\ 2x = 15 \\ x = 7.5

Answer : Nicole read 7.5 books.

Hope this helps. - M

Let the number of books that Nicole read be x.
⇒ Nicole = x

Nancy read 3 more than Nicole
⇒ Nancy = x + 3             

They read a total of 18 books.
⇒ x + ( x+ 3) = 18

<u>Solve for x:</u>
x + ( x + 3) = 18

Remove bracket:
x + x + 3 = 18

Combine like terms:
2x + 3 = 18

Subtract 3 from both sides:
2x = 15

Divide both sides by 2:
x = 7.5

<u>Find the number of books each read:</u>
Nicole = x = 7.5 books
Nancy = x + 3 = 7.5 + 3 = 10.5 books

Answer: Nicole read 7.5 books.

F(x) = 2x2 + 12x + 1<br> Determine the vertex
Gnom [1K]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The vertex would be the highest/lowest point so lets factor this first

when we factor we get

2(x^2+6x+8)

2(x+4) (x+2)

Using zero product property we find the 2 x values and x intercepts are

-4 and -2

the middle point of these points is -3

Substitute -3 for x and solve

2(-3+4) (-3+2)

2 * 1 *  -1

2*-1

-2

(-3,-2) is the vertex

James decides to walk from school to the park to play ball. The park is only 0.5 mile from the school. He leaves school at 3:15
miskamm [114]

Answer: C

Step-by-step explanation: We see that it took James 10 minutes to go 0.5 miles, so to get how many miles an hour James is traveling, we need to get the miles to 1. To do this, multiply by 2, and this will give you that it took James 20 minutes to go 1 mile. This is option C.
