So since the vertex falls onto the axis of symmetry, we can just solve for that to get the x-coordinate of both equations. The equation for the axis of symmetry is 
, with b = x coefficient and a = x^2 coefficient. Our equations can be solved as such:
y = 2x^2 − 4x + 12: 
y = 4x^2 + 8x + 3: 
In short, the vertex x-coordinate's of y = 2x^2 − 4x + 12 is 1 while the vertex's x-coordinate of y = 4x^2 + 8x + 3 is -1.
It's 12 because if you divide 6 by 0.5 you should get 12, so basically use the opposite operation.
Hope that helps!

Solve the following system using substitution:
{y + 2.3 = 0.45 x
{-2 y = -3.6
In the second equation, look to solve for y:
{y + 2.3 = 0.45 x
{-2 y = -3.6
-3.6 = -18/5:
-2 y = -18/5
Divide both sides by -2:
{y + 2.3 = 0.45 x
{y = 9/5
Substitute y = 9/5 into the first equation:
{4.1 = 0.45 x
{y = 9/5
In the first equation, look to solve for x:
{4.1 = 0.45 x
{y = 9/5
4.1 = 41/10 and 0.45 x = (9 x)/20:
41/10 = (9 x)/20
41/10 = (9 x)/20 is equivalent to (9 x)/20 = 41/10:
{(9 x)/20 = 41/10
{y = 9/5
Multiply both sides by 20/9:
Answer: {x = 82/9
{y = 9/5
