Okay, one, how many pieces are in each package, and two, how many pieces does each person need?
Since you need the vertex, and knowing the vertex will tell you the axis of symmetry, it is convenient to put the equation in vertex form.
.. -x^2 -4x +1
.. = -(x^2 +4x) +1
.. = -(x^2 +4x +(4/2)^2) +1 -(-(4/2)^2) . . . . complete the square
.. = -(x +2)^2 +5
The vertex is (-2, 5).
The axis of symmetry is x = -2.
X=2 because 3 times 2 is 6 and then you add 6 and 7 together and get 13.
Hakima saves 560. Divide the 336 by 3. you get 112 so you multiply that by 5
