The values of a and b are 4 & 6
Answer:
Part A: a. the point 3 units to the left of 7
Part B: b. -4
Step-by-step explanation:
Part A: The expression can be simplified into 7 - 3, and when you subtract a number, you go left on the number line, so the point 3 left of 7
Part B: 7 - 3 = 4, and to get to 0 from 4, you need to subtract 4 or add -4
I think it would be 25 because the line is under 25
Complete the square:
<span>y = 3x^2 - 12x + 4 </span>
<span>y = 3(x^2 - 4x) + 4 </span>
<span>y = 3(x^2 - 4x + 4 - 4) + 4 </span>
<span>y = 3(x^2 - 4x + 4) - 12 + 4 </span>
<span>y = 3(x - 2)^2 - 8</span>
Answer: 26 years.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x = current age of Louise (in years).
Then current age of James = x+6
Eight years from now, James's age = x+6+8= x+14
4 years ago, Louise's age = x-4
According to the question
x+14 = 4(x-4)
⇒ x+14 = 4x-16
⇒ 4x-x = 16+14
⇒ 3x = 30
⇒ x= 10 = current age of Louise (in years).
current age of James = 10+6 = 16 years
Sum of current ages = 16+10=26 years.
hence, the sum of the current ages is 26 years.
