Subtract 33 from the both sides of the equal sign
Multiply the both sides by -3.5
Now X Equals...
Answer:
3 tents hold 2 campers
Step-by-step explanation:
The given relations can be expressed as a single equation in the number of 2-camper tents.
__
Let x represent the number of 2-camper tents. Then the number of 4-camper tents is 6-x, and the total number of campers in tents is ...
2x +4(6 -x) = 18
-2x +24 = 18
-2x = -6 . . . . . . subtract 24
x = 3 . . . . . . . divide by -2
Exactly 3 tents hold 2 campers.
_____
<em>Additional comment</em>
The other 3 tents hold 4 campers.
Another way to consider this is to assume that all tents hold 2 campers, and then realize there are 18 -6×2 = 6 campers left over. If these are placed 2 per tent, then there will be 6/2 = 3 tents with 4 campers. The remaining 3 tents will have 2 campers.

Answer:
see explanation
Step-by-step explanation:
The equation of a parabola in vertex form is
y = a(x - h)² + k
where (h. k) are the coordinates of the vertex and a is a multiplier
here (h, k) = (- 6, - 1), thus
y = a(x + 6)² - 1
To find a substitute one of the roots into the equation
Using (- 3, 0), then
0 = a(- 3 +6)² - 1
0 = 9a - 1 ( add 1 to both sides )
1 = 9a ( divide both sides by 9 )
a = , thus
y = (x + 6)² - 1 ← in vertex form
Expand factor and simplify
y = (x² + 12x + 36) - 1 ← distribute
y = x² + x + 4 - 1
= x² + x + 3 ← in standard form
