Let's use (a) as an example. What number is in front of the x inside be brackets? If I gave you the choice of 1,2,3,4,5 which number is it out of those 5?
If you chose 5, you have the second best answer. You are reading outside the brackets. Not what we need.
If you choose 1, you are well on your way. There is a 1 beside the x.
Now go to the outside of the brackets. What's in front of the x? 1,2,3,4,5.. There is only one number you can choose. It's a 5. So the result outside the brackets is 5x. How did 1x become 5x? You had to put a 5 on the blank to the left of the brackets..
5(5 + x) = 5x + ___ What goes on the line to the right of 5x? Rule whatever you do to one side of a plus sign inside the brackets, you must do to the other side of the plus sign.
It becomes 5*5
So the blank is filled with 25. And here's the answer.
5(5 + x) = 5x + 25 <<<< answer..
Stop don't do anything more. 5x and 25 are not like terms. They don't mix

Let's make this one brief so that you have something to do. What did you multiply 5 by to get 10? You should answer 2.
2(x + 5) = ___ x + 10
What you do on one side of the plus sign, you must do on the other. So what's in front of the x on the right?
2(x + 5) = 2x + 10 <<<< answer

Answer:
1) (-3,-2)
2) x=-3
Step-by-step explanation:
1) The vertex of a parabola is the turning point that is the minimum or maximum of the graph, based on the shape of the parabola. In this case, the vertex is the minimum. By looking at the coordinate points, we can tell that the minimum value where the graph changes the direction is at (-3,-2).
2) The line of symmetry is the line on the graph that cuts the shape exactly in half. This means that if you were to fold the graph along this line, the two sides would be identical. All parabolas have a line of symmetry and it always matches the vertex. The equation for the line of symmetry will be x= whatever the x-value of the vertex is. So, for this graph, the line of symmetry is x=-3.
I have a feeling your answer is:
m = 3/4
Sorry if it’s not right
