Answer:
-50
Step-by-step explanation:
Just by estimating, 54% is a little over 1/2 of 168. You know by that, that neither A or B is close. The real answer is 90.72, so if your instructor wants you to round up, it would be D
Answer:
(-2, -1).
Step-by-step explanation:
y = x² + 4x + 3
Completing the square:
y = (x + 4/2)^2 - (4/2)^2 + 3
y = (x + 2)^2 - 4 + 3
y = (x + 2)^2 - 1.
This is vertex form and the coordinates of the vertex are (-2, -1).
Answer:
(-4, 5)
Step-by-step explanation (work shown in attached picture):
1) Since x is already isolated in the first equation, substitute that value for x into the other equation to find y. So, substitute 16-4y for the x in 3x + 4y = 8, then solve for y. This gives us y = 5.
2) Now, substitute that given value for y back into any one of the equations to find x. I chose to do it in the first equation. Substitute 5 for the y in x = 16-4y, then solve for x this time. This gives us x = -4.
Since x = -4 and y = 5, the solution is (-4, 5).
