The answer of the equation is 18.
Answer:
x = 1
Step-by-step explanation:
Remember that the axis of symmetry is exactly halfway between the x-intercepts. Find the average of -3 and 5 to obtain this x-value: It is:
-3 + 5
x - intercept = ------------ = x = 1
2
Hey!
so first distribute the 5 to x + 4
5x+20 = 2x + 20 + 2x
combine 2x and 2x
5x+20 = 4x + 20
Now you want the constant and variable on different sides so subtract 4x to the other side
5x - 4x + 20 = 20
1x + 20 = 20
now subtract the 20 on the 1x + 20 side to the other side
1x = 0
divide by 1
0 divided by anything is 0
So x = 0
Hope this helps!
