= x/4 + 5 = 8
= x/4 = 8 - 5 ( transposing +5 from LHS to RHS changes +5 to -5 )
= x/4 = 3
= x = 3 × 4 ( transposing ÷4 from LHS to RHS changes ÷4 to ×4 l
= x = 12
Let us see whether the value of x is correct or not by placing 12 in the place of x .
= 12 ÷ 4 + 5 = 8
= 3 + 5 = 8
= 8 = 8
= LHS = RHS
Which means the value of x we found out is correct .
<h3>Therefore , x = 12 .</h3>
Answer:
y =
(x - 5)² - 2
Step-by-step explanation:
The equation of a parabola in vertex form is
y = a(x - h)² + k
where (h, k) are the coordinates of the vertex and a is a multiplier
Here (h, k) = (5, - 2), thus
y = a(x - 5)² - 2
To find a substitute (7, 0) into the equation
0 = a(7 - 5)² - 2
0 = 4a - 2 ( add 2 to both sides )
2 = 4a ( divide both sides by 4 )
a =
= 
y =
(x - 5)² - 2 ← in vertex form
Solving for x would give me 14 and negative 10 which would lead to the problem looking like so 14(-10-4)=140
4 1/5 should be your answer
