Let Cameron be x years old now.
-
<u>Now:</u>
Cameron = x
Uncle =3x
-
<u>4 years ago:</u>
Cameron = x - 4
Uncle = 3x - 4
-
<u>4 years ago, Uncle is 4 times older:</u>
3x - 4 = 4(x - 4)
-
<u>Find x:</u>
3x - 4 = 4(x - 4)
3x - 4 = 4x - 16
4x - 3x = 16 - 4
x = 12
-
<u>Find the age:</u>
Cameron = x = 12

Answer: Cameron is 12 years old now.
The answer is 2 ° C because 5 + 4 + -3 /3 = 2 ° C
Answer:
3
Step-by-step explanation:
The equation of a parabola in vertex form is
y = a(x - h)² + k
where (h, k) are the coordinates of the vertex and a is a multiplier
Here (h, k) = (2, - 4) , thus
y = a(x - 2)² - 4
To find a substitute (3, - 1 ) into the equation
- 1 = a(3 - 2)² - 4 ( add 4 to both sides )
3 = a
Thus
y = 3(x - 2)2 - 4 ← equation in vertex form
= 3(x² - 4x + 4) + 4
= 3x² - 12x + 12 + 4
= 3x² - 12x + 16 ← equation in standard form
with coefficient of x² term = 3
