A parabola with an equation, y2 = 4ax has its vertex at the origin and opens to the right.
It's not just the '4' that is important, it's '4a' that matters.
This type of parabola has a directrix at x = -a, and a focus at (a, 0). By writing the equation as it is, the position of the directrix and focus are readily identifiable.
For example, y2 = 2.4x doesn't say a great deal. Re-writing the equation of the parabola as y2 = 4*(0.6)x tells us immediately that the directrix is at x = -0.6 and the focus is at (0.6, 0)

What is -x/3 = 9. Solve for x
vlada-n [284]

Note: I just noticed that you only have one negative sign. If you mean to put -9, change the sign to positive. If not, leave the answer.

Note the equal sign. what you do to one side, you do to the other. Isolate the x. First, multiply 3 to both sides

-x/3(3) = 9(3)

-x = 9(3)

-x = 27

Next, to isolate the x, divide -1 from both sides

-x/-1 = 27/-1

x = 27/-1

x = -27

-27 is your answer for x.

hope this helps
