The number of red marbles in the bag is 19 and the number of blue marbles is 8.
<u>Explanation:</u>
Let R be the number of red marbles
Let B be the number of blue marbles
According to the question,
R + B = 27 (Total number of marbles is 27
) -1
R = 3B - 5 (Number of red marbles is 5 less than 3 times the number of blue marbles
)
Substitute the right half of the second equation for R in the first equation
3B - 5 + B = 27
Add 5 to each side and combine the Bs
4B = 32
Divide both sides by 4
B = 8
Use this value of B in the first equation
R + 8 = 27
R = 19
Therefore, number of red marbles in the bag is 19 and the number of blue marbles is 8.
you put in -6 for m and -2 for n
the 2/2 =1 but one is negative so it's -1
negative times a negative is a positive
Using the quadratic formula, the solutions are:
a) 
b) 
<h3>What is a quadratic function?</h3>
A quadratic function is given according to the following rule:
The solutions are:
In which:
Item a:
The coefficients are a = 2, b = -3, c = -4, hence:
Item b:
The coefficients are a = 1, b = 2, c = 2, hence:

Answer:
x = 8, -8
When taking an absolute value the sign of a number is ignored. Therefore, both 8 and -8 would come out equalling 8.
It a trapezoid
Hope this help :)
