If AB = BC then set up the equation 3x - 4 = 5x - 10

Subtract 3x.

-4 = 2x - 10

Add 10.

6 = 2x

Divide by 2.

3 = x

AB is 3x - 4 so

3(3) - 4

9 - 4

AB = 5

If AB is not equal to BC then this is not solvable.

But if they are I am sure AB = 5.

Hope this helps

Tom is the deli manager at a grocery store.He needs to schedule employees to staff the deli department at least 260 person-hours

Drupady [299]

I hope this is right but:
Let n=number of full time employees

260<=20+n*40
260-20<=N*40
240<=n*40
n>=240/40
n>=6 full time employees

which means he would have to hire at least 6 or more fully time employees

Though I'm not sure if the attached file is the graph you are looking for

The vertex of this parabola is at (-4, -1). When the y-value is 0, the x-value is 2. What is the coefficient of the squared term

satela [25.4K]

$\bf \qquad \textit{parabola vertex form}\\\\
\begin{array}{llll}
\boxed{y=a(x-{{ h}})^2+{{ k}}}\\\\
x=a(y-{{ k}})^2+{{ h}}
\end{array} \qquad\qquad vertex\ ({{ h}},{{ k}})\\\\
-------------------------------\\\\
y=a(x-(-4))^2-1\implies y=a(x+4)^2-1
\\\\\\
\textit{now, we also know that }
\begin{cases}
y=0\\
x=2
\end{cases}\implies \underline{0}=a(\underline{2}+4)^2-1$

solve for "a"
