If the parabola looks like an “n,” your vertex will be a maximum. If the parabola looks like a “u,” the vertex will be a minimum.
5x+4y = 73
-4x + 4y = -8
5x + 4y -(-4x+4y) = 73 -(-8)
5x + 4y + 4x - 4y = 81
5x + 4x + 4y - 4y = 81
9x = 81
x = 81÷9
x = 9
Substitute x = 9 into any of the equations to find y.
5(9) + 4y = 73
45 + 4y = 73
4y = 73 - 45
4y = 28
y = 28÷4
y=7
Answers :
x = 9
y = 7
A+b=15.25
a+f=72.25, since f=13b
a+13b=72.25 so now we have two equation in two variables...
a+13b=72.25 and a+b=15.25 so we can say:
(a+13b=72.25)-13(a+b=15.25)
a+13b-13a-13b=72.25-198.25
-12a=-126
a=10.5 kg
So Abdul's mass is 10.5 kilograms.
