Answer:

The answer to your question is below

Step-by-step explanation:

First way

                      20 = 5(-3 + x)                     expand

                     20 = -15 + 5x                    simplify like terms

                     5x = 20 + 15

                     5x = 35                            divide both sides by 5

                     5x/5 = 35/5

                     x = 7

Second way

                     20/5 = 5/5 (-3 + x)          Divide both sides by 5

                     4  = -3 + x                        Add +3 in both sides

                     4 + 3 = -3 + 3 + x            Simplify like terms

                     7 = x

The graph of y=ax^2+bx+c passes through points (0,5), (1,10), and (2,19). Find a+b+c.
nataly862011 [7]

Answer:   a = 2   b = 3   c = 5  

Literally a+ b+c = 10, but I don't think that's what the question means to ask.

the equation is 2x² +3x + 5

Step-by-step explanation:   Substitute the values of the given coordinates into the formula and use algebra (solve a system of equations by substitution and elimination) to get the values  of a,b & c

y=ax²+bx+c    using  (0,5), (1,10), and (2,19)

5=a(0)²+b(0)+c   becomes 5= 0+0 + c .so we find c = 5

10=a(1)²+b(1)+c    becomes 10 = a + b + c

19=a(2)²+b(2)+c .  becomes 19 = 4a + 2b + c

Substitute the 5 for c.  Then rewrite

10 = a + b + 5      becomes     5 = a+ b     to eliminate b multiply this be (-2)

(-2)( 5 = a+ b) .to get -10 = -2a - 2b  

19 = 4a + 2b + 5  becomes   14 = 4a + 2b  

_______________  Add these two

14 = 4a + 2b

<u>-10 = -2a - 2b</u><u> </u>    this will eliminate the "b" term

4 = 2a       divide both sides by 2   so you have   a = 2  

substitute in 10=a(1)²+b(1)+5 to find b

10=2(1)²+b(1)+5 .becomes  5 = 2 + b   Subtract 2 from both sides

b = 3

So now you have all three values:  

a = 2  b= 3  c = 5  

I am attaching the graph. I hope this deserves Brainiest.

Best wishes in your studies!

A cube has a surface area of 384 square inches. What is the edge lenth of the cube? Explain pls
m_a_m_a [10]
Since there are 6 sides to a cube we can divide the total surface area by 6 to find the area of a single side

384 / 6 = 64

since the side of a cube is a square the sides are the same length, so we need a number, that when multiplied by itself is 64. The answer is 8
