<h3>Answer: D) 5/2</h3>

==================================================

Explanation:

The parabola is symmetric around its vertex. This means that the roots are the same horizontal distance away from the vertex. Furthermore, we can apply the midpoint formula on the given roots to find the x coordinate of the vertex.

Find the midpoint of 2 and 3 to get (2+3)/2 = 5/2

Note: 5/2 = 2.5

How can you use properties of operation to solve problems?

MAXImum [283]

First of all not to be rude, but it is order of operations not properties of operations. Second, you can solve equations by going in the order of PEMDAS or Parentheses, Exponents, Multiplication, division, addition, and subtraction. Multiplication and division are switchable, addition and subtraction. If you do not follow this order you get the equation or inequality wrong.

a textbook company ships its books in boxes that can hold 30 pounds. one particular order calls for a shipment of 800 books. if

Pachacha [2.7K]

83 boxes are required to carry 800 books.

According to the question:

One Box can hold weight = 30 pounds

We know that , 1 pound= 0.45 kg

hence, 30 pounds = 30 x 0.45 = 13.5kg

hence, one box can carry 13.5 kg of weight.

Now,

Weight of 1 book = 1.4 kg
