0.10x - 0.08x = 250 - 185
0.02x = 65
x = 3250
The answer is 4.8
Simply divide 27.36 by 5.7

So the equation of the red graph is already given to us:
. I assume you meant the blue graph?
We can use the vertex form:
, where
is the vertex. (We can ignore
because
is 1 for this graph.) Remember that the vertex is the maximum or minimum of a parabola and the point that the line of symmetry passes through. For f(x) the vertex is (0,0).
The vertex for
is at
on the coordinate plane. (4 left, 2 down)
Plug into the vertex form:

The double negative becomes a positive, and then you're done:
