Answer:
Algebra book weighs 24 oz
Grammar book weighs 15 oz
Step-by-step explanation:
algebra = x and grammar = y
x = 2y-6
5x = 8y
5(2y-6) = 8y
10y - 30 = 8y
2y - 30 = 0
2y = 30
y = 15
x = 2(15)-6
x = 30-6
x = 24
Answer:

Each student's share is 1.5 granola bars.
Answer:
3
Step-by-step explanation:
In this expression, the first term is <em>2x</em>, then <em>4y, </em>then 8-2 (which simplifies to 6).
Answer:
f(x) = (8/3)x(x - 1).
Step-by-step explanation:
The vertex form of the function is
y = a(x - 1/2)^2 - 2/3 where a is some constant.
Now the roots are 0 and 1 so
For x = 0
0 = a(-1/2)^2 - 2/3
1/4 a = 2/3
a = 2/3 / 1/4 = 8/3.
So the function is
f(x) = (8/3)(x - 1/2)^2 - 2/3.
3 f(x) = 8(x - 1/2)^2 - 2
= 8(x^2 - x + 1/4) - 2
= 8x^2 - 8x + 2 - 2
3 f(x) = 8x(x - 1)
f(x) = (8/3)x(x - 1).
