Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
-1+8=7
Where is it? In order to help you I need to see what the problem is.
You could complete the square to state the vertex.
You could use the quadratic equation to find the roots (which are complex).
Try an example that will require both.
y = x^2 + 2x + 5
Step One
Get the graph. That's included below.
Step Two
Provide the steps for completing the square.
Note: we should get (-1,4)
y= (x^2 +2x ) + 5
y = (x^2 +2x + 1) + 5 - 1
y = (x +1)^2 + 4
The vertex is at (-1,4)
Step Three
Find the roots. Use the quadratic equation. Note that the graph shows us that the equation never crosses or touches the x axis. The roots are complex.

a = 1
b = 2
c = 5




x = -1 +/- 2i
x1 = -1 + 2i
x2 = -1 - 2i And we are done.
Let the number = x.
So 2 times x subtracted from 11 is written as 11-2x
The result is 4 more than the number is written as 4 +x
Now you have 11-2x = 4 + x
We can now solve for x.
Add 2x to each side:
11 = 4 + 3x
Subtract 4 from each side:
7 = 3x
Divide both sides by 3:
x = 7/3
