Step-by-step explanation:

x + 6 = 2x - 8

1. Subtract 2x from both sides

x - 2x + 6 = 2x - 2x - 8

2. Simplify

-x + 6 = -8

3. Now, subtract 6 from both sides

-x + 6 - 6 = -8 - 6

4. Simplify

-x = -14

5. Divide both sides by -1 because you would want the x by itself instead of having -x

-1x/-1 = -14/-1

6. Simplify

x = 14 <------ Answer

Hope that helped!!

Answer:

AB = 7√2

Step-by-step explanation:

if a(x1,y1) and b(x2,y2) then

$ab = \sqrt{ {(x1 - x2)}^{2} +{(y1 - y2)}^{2}}$

Based on your points and on the formula above AB is:

$\sqrt{ {(3 - ( - 4))}^{2} + {(7 - 0)}^{2} } \\ \sqrt{ {(3 + 4)}^{2} + {7}^{2} } \\ \sqrt{ {7}^{2} + {7}^{2} } \\ \sqrt{2 \times {7}^{2} } \\ 7 \sqrt{2}$

You can either find the roots of the quadratic formula using the quadratic formula two find the halfway point or you can use the formula t=-b/2a. Both of the two methods gives you the axis of symmetry (the t value for the vertex).
I will use the second method since I don't like using the quadratic formula.
t=-32/(2x-16)
t=1 second
After you find the t value for the axis of symmetry, you plug it into the formula of the graph to find the height.
h=-16+32+14
h=30 feet
