this is how this should help.
Answer
x = 28
Explanation
3/8x + 15/2 = 18
Step 1. Subtract 15/2 from both sides
3/8x = 15/2 - 15/2 = 18 - 15/2
3/8x = 21/2
Step 2. Multiply both sides by 8/3
(8/3) * (3/8x) = (8/3) * (21/2)
Step 3. Answer
Therefore x is 28.
The parent function for quadratic equations is as followed:

where a and b represent vertical and horizontal stretches, respectively, h is the horizontal shift, and k is the vertical shift.
So going from

to

,
We are shifting 1 to the left and 6 up.
The horizontal shift is in the negative direction because in the equation, h=-1 because:
The answer is A.
Answer:
The height is 8
Step-by-step explanation:
Ratios are just fractions. That being said, you also have part of a fraction. You know that the colorado flag is in 2:3, and 12 feet long is according to that ratio; it equals each other.
Make the equation.

Now isolate x (in order to solve for it)

x= 8
The height is 8.
