Step-by-step explanation:
if that is truly the full problem description, then we have
10x - x + 5 = 41
=>
9x = 36
our simply
x = 4
so, I am not sure, what your teacher wants to see as result.
there is an infinite number of equations I could find, all with the solution x = 4.
For Q3, you can subsitute x = 2 and y = 5 into the systems
-5(2) + 5 = -5
so it's a solution for the first system
-4(2)+2(5) = 2
it's also a solution for the second system
The axis of symmetry is at x = -3.
This can be found by looking at the basic form of vertex form:
y = (x - h)^2 + k
In this basic form the vertex is (h, k). By looking at what is plugged into the equation, it is clear that h = -3 and k = -4. This means the vertex is at (-3, -4).
It is a fact that the axis of symmetry is a vertical line of x = (vertex value of x). So we can determine that the axis of symmetry is at x = -3
