v + m = 32 and v = 5 + 2m are the equations that are used to determine m, the number of stuffed animals Mariposa has
Number of stuffed animals Mariposa has is 9 and number of stuffed animals with Veronica is 23
<h3>
<u>Solution:</u></h3>
Let "v" be the number of stuffed animals with Veronica
Let "m" be the number of stuffed animals with Mariposa
Given that,
Together, they have 32 stuffed animals
Therefore,
v + m = 32 --------- eqn 1
Veronica has 5 more than double the number of stutted animals as her friend Mariposa
Therefore,
Number of stuffed animals with Veronica = 5 + 2(number of stuffed animals with Mariposa)
v = 5 + 2m ---------- eqn 2
Thus eqn 1 and eqn 2 can be used to determine m, the number of stuffed animals Mariposa has
Let us solve eqn 1 and eqn 2
Substitute eqn 2 in eqn 1
5 + 2m + m = 32
5 + 3m = 32
3m = 32 - 5
3m = 27
<h3>m = 9</h3>
Substitute m = 9 in eqn 2
v = 5 + 2(9)
v = 5 + 18
<h3>v = 23</h3>
Thus number of stuffed animals Mariposa has is 9 and number of stuffed animals with Veronica is 23
The answer to the question is 1 and 3/4

Answer:
See attached image
Step-by-step explanation:
This equation for a parabola is given in vertex form, so it is very simple to extract the coordinates of its vertex, by using the opposite of the number that accompanies the variable "x" in the squared expression (opposite of 2) for the vertex's x-value, and the value of the constant (-6) for the vertex's y-value.
The vertex coordinates are therefore: (-2,-6)
The equation of the axis of symmetry of the parabola is a vertical line passing through the vertex. Since all vertical lines have the shape x = constant in our case, in order to pass through (-2,-6) the vertical line is defined by the equation: x = -2.
See image attached to find the vertex drawn as a red point, and the axis of symmetry as an orange vertical line passing through it.
