Check the picture below.
based on the equation, if we set y = 0, we'd end up with 0 = 0.5(x-3)(x-k).
and that will give us two x-intercepts, at x = 3 and x = k.
since the triangle is made by the x-intercepts and y-intercepts, then the parabola most likely has another x-intercept on the negative side of the x-axis, as you see in the picture, so chances are "k" is a negative value.
now, notice the picture, those intercepts make a triangle with a base = 3 + k, and height = y, where "y" is on the negative side.
let's find the y-intercept by setting x = 0 now,

Answer:
112
Step-by-step explanation:
So, we know that a triangle's sides must add up to have a sum of 180. If you add up your given lengths and you should get 47, not including x. Then if you look at the left side/the one without a given length and it should be identical to the 21, so you know that side is 21. So now add 21 to 47, you should get 68. Finally, you subtract 68 from 180 like this: 180-68, and it should equal 112. So you're answer is 112.
She will have 6 braces left over since 8x8=64 and 70-64=6
We have y=2x and y=x+2
They both equal y, so substitute the first equation for y in the second equation.
2x=x+2
Let’s get x to one side. Let’s subtract x from both sides.
X=2
Since x=2, just plug in 2 for x.
2+2=4
So,
X=2
Y=4
