How I got my answer before was substitution!
Answer: 2 1/3
Explanation:
10 2/6 - 7 5/6
You can make both a fraction by multiplying the denominator by the whole number, and then adding the numerator to that number, and keeping the denominator the same. So, 10*6 = 60 and 60 + 2 = 62 and you keep the denominator as 6, which would make 62/6
7*6 = 42 and 42 + 5 = 47 so 7 5/6 becomes 47/6
10 2/6 is equivalent to 62/6
7 5/6 is equivalent to 47/6
This just makes it easier to look at.
Now you just work through the equation.
62/6 - 47/6 = 15/6
15/6 = 2 3/6 = 2 1/3
I think it's less than 7/2 usually bigger numbers are less in this case.
sorry if you got that wrong but i'm 85% sure
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).
Whenever it says divide just flip the fraction and change it to multiply
