Shouldn't this be in the language section? But okay. I would say the simple subject would be "plane"
27 = 5x/2 + 8y is an equation to use to solve
<h2>Steps</h2>
- Standard Form Equation: f(x) = ax² + bx + c
So firstly, since (0,5) is one of our values we can plug it into the standard form equation to solve for the c variable (since 0 will cancel out the a and b variable):

Now we know that the value of c is 5. Next, plug in (-1,12) into the standard form equation and simplify (remember to also plug in 5 for the c variable):

Next, plug (2,15) into the standard form equation and simplify:

Now, with our last two simplified equations we will create a system of equations:

Now, I will be using the elimination method with this system. With the system, add up the equations together and you will get:

From here, we can solve for the a variable. With it, just divide both sides by 3:

Now that we know the value of a, plug it into either equation to solve for the b variable:

<h2>Answer</h2>
Putting all of our obtained values together, your final answer is:

A. I think the sum she wrote was 5 163/200 + 6 21/1000.
B. I think the comparison of the sum of the two numbers in decimal form is 11.836, or 11 209/250 in mixed number form.
