Answer:
XQ = 12
Step-by-step explanation:
In this question it asks for XQ instead of x, but you need to find x first.
1. Find x.
XQ is half of MQ so this statement is true: 3x - 3 = 2(2x - 6)
Solve for x.
3x - 3 = 2(2x - 6)
Distribute 2.
3x - 3 = 4x - 12
Isolate x.
3x = 4x - 9
-x = -9
Divide -1 out.
x = 9
Now solve for XQ, which the equation is given.
XQ = 2(9) - 6
XQ = 18 - 6
XQ = 12
Answer: -1
Step-by-step explanation: A typical quadratic equation is 
and the maximum value formula is -b/2a, so let plug it in -4/2(-4) which equals 1/2. Then let plug 1/2 into the equation,
-4(1/2)^2+4(1/2)-2=
-1+2-2=
-1
