Suppose y=0. That means 
<span>x+z = 18 </span>
<span>x-z = 26/5 </span>

<span>x = 58/5 </span>
<span>z = 32/5 </span>

<span>So, the largest x can be is 58/5 </span>
<span>Now, suppose we toss in y. If we subtract y/2 from both x and z, then the difference between x and z is still 26/5, and the sum is </span>

<span>(x-y/2) + y + (z-y/2) = x+z = 18 </span>

<span>For example, if y = 4, </span>

<span>x = 48/5 </span>
<span>y = 20/5 </span>
<span>z = 22/5 </span>

<span>x-z is still 26/5, and the sum is still 18. </span>

What is the first year after 2018 that is a palindrome?
blondinia [14]
So a palindrome is a word or number that spells the same thing forwards and backward (e.g. tacocat, racecar, 101, 262) Palindrome years occur every 110 years (except at the end of the millennium, in which it is only 11 years). The last one happened in 2002, so the next one won't occur until 2112. Maybe some of us will live to see it!

So if you take the two pieces of paper they would be triangles because he cut it from one corner to the other. Each shape would have a total of three sides; one of those sides would be an angle. Hope this helps

A quadratic rule for a particular parabola is of the form y = ax^2 + bx. The parabola passes through with the coordinates (-1, 4
Scilla [17]

Answer:

y = (4/7)x² - (24/7)(x)

Step-by-step explanation:

4 = a(-1)² + b(-1)

4 = a - b

0 = a(6)² + b(6)

36a + 6b = 0

b = -6a

4 = a - (-6a)

7a = 4

a = 4/7

b = -24/7

y = (4/7)x² - (24/7)(x)
