The value of X is either -1 or 7. By using distance formula.
The answer is A, y = (x+3)^2 -3
The actual number is 151.34 but since its a estimate about 150ish
22.5 (shower) = X (variable used in place of the amount of water she uses to wash clothes) - 7.5 (the amount she used in the shower is 7.5 gallons less than she uses for washing clothes)
22.5 = X - 7.5 《 This is the equation.
Solve is by adding 7.5 to both sides to cancel out the negative 7.5 and you get (X = 30).
Answer:
When the eqn cuts the x-axis , y=0
3x=12
x=12/3
x=4
So,at x=4 is the point at which the linear equation cuts the x-axis
