Answer:
x=-7
Step-by-step explanation:
7x2-x=7
7x2=14.
14-x=7
When you finished the last step, you will subtract 14 to both sides.
14-x=7
14-14-x=7-14
this will cancel out the 14 on the left.
And will leave you with:
-x=7-14
7-14 is -7.
and this will get you to
-x=-7
To finish this off, you have to turn the negative x/variable, into a positive x/variable.
So, you will divide both sides of the equation by the same term.
-x = -7
into
and it will be -7.
I hope this helps :)
Reason:
The template applies to any quadratic to graph out a parabola. The coefficient for the x^2 term is 'a', and it solely determines whether the parabola opens upward or downward.
If 'a' is negative, then the parabola opens downward. The way to remember this is that 'a' being negative forms a negative frown.
On the other hand if 'a' is positive, then it forms a positive smile, and the parabola opens upward.
In this case, the points are fairly close to a parabola opening downward. This means 'a' is negative and a < 0.
