If you begin with the basic equation of a vertical parabola: y-k=a(x-h)^2, where (h,k) is the vertex, then that equation, when the vertex is (-3,-2), is
y + 2 = a (x + 3)^2. If we solve this for y, we get
y = a(x+3)^2 - 2. Thus, eliminate answers A and D. That leaves B, since B correctly shows (x+3)^2.
X - y = 9
x + 2y = 27
You can subtract the top equation from the bottom
3y = 18
y = 6
x = 15
The two numbers are 15 and 6
Answer:
4. x= 26 5. 7.333333 6. 16.4
Step-by-step explanation:
(100-15)% = 85% = 136 students
136 / (85%) = 130*(100/85) = 160 students
