Answer:

Equation: 3x + 2 = 50

# of friends: 16

Step-by-step explanation:

3 chocolates each or 3x because what "each" means is not known yet-

3x

<em>Note: Always use x for an unknown value</em>

2 remaining chocolates-

3x + 2

50 total chocolates-

3x + 2 = 50

Remove two to keep the x alone-

3x = 48

Remove the 3 or the "Coefficient" by dividing-

48/3 = 16

x = 16

Equation: 3x + 2 = 50

# of friends: 16

kramer
Y + 2 = -2(x - 5)

Simplify.

y + 2 = -2x + 10

Subtract 2 from both sides.

y = -2x + 10 - 2

Simplify.

y = -2x + 8 → Slope-intercept form

Our answer is the second option : y=-2x+8

morpeh [17]

Answer:

f(-3) = -9.

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of the curve in vertex form is:

f(x) = a(x + 3)^2 - 9     a is positive as the parabola opens up.

It passes through the point (1.5, 4), so

4 = a(1.5 + 3)^2 - 9

20.25a = 13

a = 13/20.25

a = 0.6420.

So the equation of the graph is

0.6420(x + 3)^2 - 9.

f(-3) = 0.6420(-3 + 3)^2 - 9

= 0.642*0 - 9.

= -9.
