Answer:
a = ±23
Step-by-step explanation:



I think u do the ones in the parenthesis first bc of PEMDAS since it's both negative it become positive and u can cross out both the 2's and that leaves u with 1/7 and then u just times 1/7 with 8 and then u get 8/7
hoped this helped! :)
So you are going to want to cross multiply getting 18x=360 then from there you divide gettin x=20
Solve for x, which can be done by moving x to the other side.
2(x-5)^2+8
So, x = 5
The y value is the number at the end and we can see that it is positive 8.
y = 8
Write it out as a coordinate pair and you would get (5,8) or answer choice D
