Looked it up & the answer is -1.9
Get into form a(x-h)²+k
complete the square
-3x²-18x-31
group x terms
(-3x²-18x)-31
undistribute the -3
-3(x²+6x)-31
take 1/2 of the linear coefient (6) and squaer it
6/2=3, 3²=9
add positive and negative of it inside parenthasees
-3(x²+6x+9-9)-31
complete the square
-3((x+3)²-9)-31
expand
-3(x+3)²+27-31
-3(x+3)²-4 is vertex form
3/3 or 3 over 3
usually its like 3
_
3
but it can go anyway
The third answer would be correct. TUWV ~ DEFG; 6:4.5
This is because 6 is dilated to 4.5.
Hope this helped!
Using the second equation, let’s find x
x + 7y = 8
x = 8 - 7y
Substitute x in the other equation
3/8(8 - 7y) + 1/3y = 17/24
3 - 21/8y + 1/3y = 17/24
-55/24y = -55/24
y = 1
Plug in y in any equation
x + 7(1) = 8
x + 7 = 8
x = 1
x = 1 and y = 1
