I am going to explain this using the substitution method, considering it appears to be the best in this situation.
We know (from the bottom equation) that y can equal 3x+20. Using this knowledge, we substitute the y in the top equation for 3x+20. Now, we have an equation that looks like this:
3x+20=x^2+2x
Now we need to move x to one side and then do some radicals (square roots).
Subtract the 2x on the right (since it is smaller, negatives = NONONO), which will give you
x+20=x^2
Now, we take the square root of both sides to get
rad(x+20)=x
Now we have to simplify. 20 doesn't have a square root, but 4 goes into 20, and 4 has a square root of 2. This now becomes
2rad(x+5)
This doesn't simplify any further... we have a problem... no way to isolate x as far as my knowledge goes... Sorry, can't help you any further than that, but another person or your teacher might be able to. R.I.P...
To determine the nth term, we must create a function.
f(n) = 1st term + common difference (n - 1)
n = term you are looking for
1st term = 1st number in the sequence
common difference = the difference between two consecutive numbers in the sequence.
based on the above sequence, the 1st term is 2, its common difference is 3.
f(n) = 2 + 3(n-1)
Assuming we are looking for the 5th term
f(5) = 2 + 3(5-1)
= 2 + 3(4)
= 2 + 12
f(5) = 14 as you can see in the above sequence 14 is the 5th term.
For any other value of the nth term, simply substitute n by the number of the term and solve the equation.

Answer:
5 centimetres of rainfall produced 25 million
Step-by-step explanation:
Vertex is what is being asked by the question, and those points are given in the question. Vertex form is a(x-p)^2 + q, where 5 is the x of the vertex, and 25 is the y of the vertex
