The answer is 35/12 or you can make it into a mixed number which is 2 and 11/12
Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:
The standard form of a parabola is written as

where a, b and c are the coefficients of the second-degree, first degree and zero-degree terms.
The coordinates of the vertex of a parabola is given by:


The coordinates of the focus instead are given by


In this problem, we know the coordinates of the vertex and of the focus point:
Vertex: (-3,3)
Focus point: (-3,2)
So we have:
(1)
(2)
(3)
From eq.(1) we get
(4)
Substituting into (2),
(5)
Now rewriting eq.(3) as

And substituting (4) and (5) into this, we can find b:

Then we can find a and c:

And

So the parabola is

The answer to the first problem is x=1
The answer to the 2nd problem is x=4
In the first problem, you need to subtract the 8 from both sides of the equation then divide 4 by both sides which makes 4 cancel itself out leaving x and 12 leaving 1.
