<span>If the nemesis has "7/8 of her cats plus 2" it can be written like this: 7/8 x + 2 = x, where x is the number of the cats. After that we can solve the equation. x - 7/8 x = 2; 1/8 x = 2; x = 2 : 1/8 = 2 * 8 = 16. Answer: The nemesis has 16 cats.</span>
We can start by figuring out the axis of symmetry.
y = x² + 12x = x (x + 12)
So roots are x = -12 or 0
Therefore axis of symmetry is x = (-12 + 0) / 2 = -6
We got x-coordinate of vertex. Now plug in x=-6 to solve for y.
y = (-6)² + 12(-6) = 36 - 72 = -36
Therefore vertex is (-6, -36).
x stands for a variable, in which the variable would be replaced by a number(s) that would make the equation true.
Hope this helps
