The vertex of a quadratic equation is the minimum or maximum point of the equation. Find that, and you have the vertex. <span>To </span>find the x-intercept<span> of a given linear equation, plug in 0 for 'y' and solve for '</span>x'. To find<span> the y-</span>intercept, plug 0 in for 'x<span>' and solve for 'y'.</span>
<span>You only need an estimate? Great. Think of the necessary material as 6 yards, so ten costumes would take 60 yards. Then think of the fabric on hand as 240 yards, so taking 60 yards away from that would leave [an estimated] 180 yards of fabric.
For an equation, use:
F" = F' - 5.8 C
Where F' is the initial fabric stock, F" is the remaining fabric, and C is the count of costumes.
In exact numbers, the formula works out to:
F" = 238.2 - (5.8 * 10)
F" = 180.2
The estimate was very close.
Good luck.</span>
The sum of the parallelogram is 22 because I did the test
Your answer will be (2x+1)(x+2)
The hard part is just making sense of what they are asking for.
4 times the quantity of a number decreased by one is just the expression:
4 * (x-1)
Where "x" is our mystery number.
Two more than the same number is just:
x + 2
Where "x" is our same mystery number.
They say that these two expressions are the same, so just set them equal to each other.
4*(x-1) = x+2
4x - 4 = x +2
3x -4 = 2
3x = 6
x = 2
The mystery number is 2. Plug in 2 and you will see that it works!
