Answer:
The answer is -x+26.
Step-by-step explanation:
First you distribute the -3 into the parthensis and you get -3x+15. You write the whole expression again plus the -3x+15 you got from the distributing part so 8-3x+15+2x+3. You combine the like terms so the x with the x and the numbers with the numbers. From there you get the answer of -x+26. I hope this helps you!

Answer:
n = - 2
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
- 6n - 2n = 16, that is
- 8n = 16 ( divide both sides by - 8 )
n = - 2

Answer:
(a, b, c) = (-0.425595, 11.7321, 2.16667)
f(x) = -0.425595x² +11.7321x +2.16667
f(1) ≈ 13.5
Step-by-step explanation:
A suitable tool makes short work of this. Most spreadsheets and graphing calculators will do quadratic regression. All you have to do is enter the data and make use of the appropriate built-in functions.
Desmos will do least-squares fitting of almost any function you want to use as a model. It tells you ...
a = -0.425595
b = 11.7321
c = 2.16667
so
f(x) = -0.425595x² +11.7321x +2.16667
and f(1) ≈ 13.5

<em>Additional comment</em>
Note that a quadratic function doesn't model the data very well if you're trying to extrapolate to times outside the original domain.
