Answer:
Distance = 70 + 55 = 125 kilometers
Time = 4 + 3 = 7 hours
Rate = Distance / Time
Rate = 125 / 7 = 17.8571428571 kilometers per hour
Step-by-step explanation:
I don't either it is quite hard to be fair
You must factor.

The factored form is equal to the assigned form.

Values a, b correspond to the factored 1, -1.
Value of x however remains unknown. But we can change that.
Given factored result,

We can set expression equal to 0 then find such x that when added with number a or b results with 0.

Hence x has 2 solutions.

Hope this helps.
Y = x^2 - 6y + 8
y = (x - 3)^2 - 9 + 8
y = (x -3 )^2 - 1
vertex is at ( 3, -1)
