Answer:
You could use a graphing calculator to see the lowest point in the graph OR you could put that equation into it's completed squared form, which is (x-4)^2 -4. The opposite of -4 in the parentheses is positive 4, and the leftover -4 is the y value. So that also becomes (4,-4)
Parallel lines have the same slope. So the slope of the other line =2/7
The dimensions of the smaller box are half those of the larger box. This means that:
*Length of smaller box= length of larger box/2= 24/2= 12cm.
*height of smaller box= height of larger box/2= 30/2= 15cm.
*width of smaller box= width of larger box/2= 10/2= 5cm.
Hello!
So the following would be your equation.
3(x+5)-10= 29
Your first step would be to use the Distributive Property based upon PEMDAS (Parenthesis, Exponents, Multiplication, Division, Addition, Subtraction). Since we have Parenthesis, we distribute first.
3(x+5)-10=29
^ ^
——————
So, your new equation would be—
3x+15-10=29
Now, you need to combine like terms—
15-10=29
3x+5=29
——————
Therefore your new equation is—
3x+5=29.
Now you need to move the constants (5,29) to one side of the equal sign. To do this, you would use the Subtraction Property of Equality and rid the 5–
3x+5=29
-5 -5
——————
Your equation is now—
3x=24.
Finally, you need to remove the 3 from x. This means you must use the Division Property of Equality, and rid the 3.
3x=24

3 3
Your solved equation is—
X=8
Hope this helped!
