Substitution method 4a=4-b 4a=5-b How to do this

A "solution" to this pair of equations is a pair of numbers, for 'a' and 'b',
that make the equations true statements.

I can tell you right now that this system of equations has no solution.
Here, let me show you why:

<span>           4a = 4 - b
           4a = 5 - b

Subtract the bottom equation from the top one:

             0 = -1

Can you think of any numbers for 'a' and 'b' that could
make  0  equal to  -1 ?

I can't either.

There are no numbers for 'a' and 'b' that can make both equations true
statements.  That's just another way to say that the system of equations
has no solution.</span>

Find the x-intercepts if the parabola with vertex (-3,-18) and y-intercept (0,0). Write your answer
anzhelika [568]
Vertex form is 
y = a(x - b)^2 + c

here a = -3 and b = -18 so we have

y = a(x + 3)^2 - 18

when x = 0 , y= 0  ( the y-intercept) so:-

0 = a(3^)2 - 18
9a = 18 
a = 2

so the parabola  is y = 2(x + 3)^2 - 18

x intercepts found as follows:-

2(x + 3)^2 - 18 = 0
(x + 3)^2 = 9
x + 3 =  +/- sqrt9  = +/- 3

so x intercepts  are 0 and -6 Answer
