Answer:
n = 4
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
10n + 2 = 7n + 14
Collect terms in n on the left side and numbers on the right side
Subtract 7n from both sides
3n + 2 = 14 ( subtract 2 from both sides )
3n = 12 ( divide both sides by 3 )
n = 4
Answer: ( 0, 2 )
Step-by-step explanation:
You have to put coordinates of each graph on these equations y = -x + 2 and y = (1/2)x + 2. If putting coordinates satisfies both equations, then that coordinate will be the solution.
For example, let's put (0, 2) to equations.
y = -x + 2
2 = -0 + 2
2 = 2, true
y = (1/2)x + 2
2 = (1/2) × 0 + 2
2 = 2, true
So, ( 0, 2 ) is the solution.

Answer:
"complete the square" to put in vertex form
Step-by-step explanation:
It may be helpful to consider the square of a binomial:
(x +a)² = x² +2ax +a²
The expression x² +x +1 is in the standard form of the expression on the right above. Comparing the coefficients of x, we see ...
2a = 1
a = 1/2
That means we can write ...
(x +1/2)² = x² +x +1/4
But we need x² +x +1, so we need to add 3/4 to the binomial square in order to make the expressions equal:

_____
Another way to consider this is ...
x² +bx +c
= x² +2(b/2)x +(b/2)² +c -(b/2)² . . . . . . rewrite bx, add and subtract (b/2)²*
= (x +b/2)² +(c -(b/2)²)
for b=1, c=1, this becomes ...
x² +x +1 = (x +1/2)² +(1 -(1/2)²)
= (x +1/2)² +3/4
_____
* This process, "rewrite bx, add and subtract (b/2)²," is called "completing the square"—especially when written as (x-h)² +k, a parabola with vertex (h, k).
