Let's say each row has x desks and there are y rows.
We then know that x*y =25
We also know that x*2-5=y (number number of rows is five less than twice the number of desks in each row)
So we substitute: x*(x*2-5)=25
putting numbers out of the brackets:
2x*x-5x=25
2x*x-5x-25=0
(2x+5)(x-5)=0 (this bracketing is true: you can check it by expanding it:
2x*x-10x+5x-25
So that means that either x=-2.5which can't be : there can't be a fractional number of benches,
or x=5
so each row has 5 desks and there are 2*5-5 rows, or 5 rows.
Y=12-6 times 4
y=12-24
y=-12

Step-by-step explanation:
If the parabola has the form
(vertex form)
then its vertex is located at the point (h, k). Therefore, the vertex of the parabola

is located at the point (8, 6).
To find the length of the parabola's latus rectum, we need to find its focal length <em>f</em>. Luckily, since our equation is in vertex form, we can easily find from the focus (or focal point) coordinate, which is

where
is called the focal length or distance of the focus from the vertex. So from our equation, we can see that the focal length <em>f</em> is

By definition, the length of the latus rectum is four times the focal length so therefore, its value is

In this situation, it is similar to a coin flip, so think about flipping a 2 sided chip, one side colored yellow the other blue, flipping the chip will result in a 50/50 chance for it to land on either side, so no matter how many times you flip it it will always be a 1/2 chance of it being on one of the sides
