Answer:

x= 3/4

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation.

5x−2(x+1)= 1 /4

5x+(−2)(x)+(−2)(1)= 1 /4

(Distribute)

5x+−2x+−2= 1 /4

(5x+−2x)+(−2)= 1 /4

(Combine Like Terms)

3x+−2= 1 /4

3x−2=1 /4

Step 2: Add 2 to both sides.

3x−2+2= 1 /4 +2

3x= 9 /4

Step 3: Divide both sides by 3.

3x/ 3 = 9 /4 /3

x= 3 /4

5x-2(x+1)=1/4
5x-2x-2=1/4
3x-2=1/4
3x=2 1/4
3x=9/4
3x/3=(9/4)/3
x=(9/4)(1/3)
x=9/12
x=3/4

Let's take a look at D:

<span>D) y = (x-1)^2 - 16 Compare this to
y = (x-h)^2 + k This is the std. equation of a parabola in vertex form.

You can see, by comparison, that h=1 and k= -16; these are the coordinates of the vertex, clearly shown in the diagram.

Since the coefficient of (x-h)^2 is +1, the graph opens upward (which the given graph confirms), and is neither compressed nor stretched vertically.</span>
