Hello from MrBillDoesMath!
Answer:
3
Discussion:
34 + 2x = 40 => subtract 34 from both sides
(34-34) + 2x = 40 - 34 => as (34-34) = 0 and 40-34 = 6
2x = 6 => divide both sides by 2
x = 6/2 = 3
Check the answer:
Does 34 + 2x = 40 if x = 3 ?
Does 34 + 2(3) = 40 ?
Does 34 + 6 = 40 ? YES! so the answer checks.
Thank you,
MrB
Answer:
x = 4
Given:
f(x) = -12x + 72
f(x) = 24
Step-by-step explanation:

Explanation:
Vertex form of a quadratic function is given by y = a(x - h)² + k
where
1) 'a' determines if parabola is stretched or compressed.
If a > 1 then graph is stretched by a factor of a.
If 0 < a < 1, then graph is compressed by a factor of a.
2) If a > 0 then graph opens upwards with a happy face. (minimum)
3) If a < 0 then graph opens downwards with a sad face. (maximum)
4) (h, k) is the vertex point
5) The axis of symmetry is x = h
While solving for y = 1(x - 4)² + 3
Identify following's:
Vertex: (h, k) = (4, 3)
Axis of symmetry: x = 4
Max/Min: As here a > 0, Minimum (4, 3)
Stretch/compression: a = 1, the graph is stretched by a factor of 1.
Direction of opening: As a > 0, the graph opens upwards.
