Answer:
The letter "x" is often used in algebra to mean a value that is not yet known. It is called a "variable" or sometimes an "unknown". In x + 2 = 7, x is a variable, but we can work out its value if we try! A variable doesn't have to be "x", it could be "y", "w" or any letter, name or symbol. See: Variable.

Answer:</h3>
- y = -(x -3)² +3 . . . . (agrees with your answer)

<h3>
Step-by-step explanation:</h3>
Factoring the leading -1 from the first two terms, we have ...
... y = -(x² -6x) -6
Adding 9 inside parentheses to complete the square, then adding the opposite amount outside parentheses, we have ...
... y = -(x² -6x +9) -6 +9
... y = -(x -3)² +3
HL (It's a right triangle and the hypotenuse and leg are congruent. This can also be thought of as SAS.)
SAS (Side angle side. All congruent.)
SSS (Line AR is shared by both triangles. A line is always congruent on itself. The other two are self explanatory.)
ASA and AAS cannot be used because we can only confidently confirm one angle of each triangle.
Answer:
You can't "solve" it but you can simplify it. When I factored it, I got -3(x+112).
