One <u>possible story</u> is:
I had 5 apples. My sister gave me 7, and now I have 12.
Explanation:
We are writing a story for 5+7=12. This means we need to start with 5 objects and somehow gain 7 more. In our story, we start with 5 apples and we get 7 more.
The last part is that our total must be 12. In our story, we end with 12 apples.
Answer:
shift it down by 4 units
Step-by-step explanation:
by the placement of the -4 it can be determined that you would shift it according to the y axis
The formula a(x-h)^2 + k = y
h represents change in x, k represents change in y
-k means shift down
3x + 2y + y - 3x = 180
3y = 180
y = 180/3
y = 60
3x = y - 3x
Let y = 60
3x = 60 - 3x
3x + 3x = 60
6x = 60
x = 60/6
x = 10
Answer: x = 10, y = 60
