In order to solve this problem, we transform the statements into algebraic expressions. First, we assign the variables.

 

Let:

x = Gina’s number

y = Sara’s number

 

For the first equation, we show that Gina’s number is greater than Sara’s number by 2. For the second equation, we show that the sum of both numbers is 68.

<span>(1)  </span>x – y = 2

<span>(2)  </span>x + y = 68

 

<span>We add the two expressions, which result in the expression: 2x = 70. Then we divide 70 by 2 to get the value of x. We then have x = 35. Using the second equation, we solve for y = 68-35. This gives y = 33. To summarize, Gina’s number is 35 while Sara’s number is 33.</span>

Answer:

Gina=35, Sara=33

Step-by-step explanation:

Gina's number is <u>2 more</u> than Sara's.

Lets start by saying cookies as the number.

Sum = 2 numbers add together. The answer to the equation. Lik 5+5=10. 10 is the sum.

You only know that Gina has 2 more cookies than Sara.

If Sara has 3 cookies then Gina has 5 cookies. Whats the Sum? 8.

So, you figure out an random big number but, smaller than 68.

Lets do 68 to try now.  So you do 68/2 = 34. You remember that Gina has 2 more than Sara. So, 35 cookies for Gina. So, you can guess that Sara has 33 cookies.

explain the benefits of each of the three forms of quadratic equations, standard form, vertex form, and factored form. What do t
mamaluj [8]

Answer:

Summary:

Standard form allow us to quickly find the y-intercept.

Vertex form allow us to quickly locate the vertex.

And factored form allows us to quickly determine the roots/zeros.

Step-by-step explanation:

The three forms of quadratics are the standard form, vertex form, and the factored form. Each of them reveals a specific part about the quadratic.

Standard Form:

The standard form of a quadratic is:

ax^2+bx+c

There are only two details that can be conveyed by a quadratic in standard form immediately: (1) the leading coefficient a, and (2) the y-intercept.

The leading coefficient a will tell us if the parabola curves upwards or downwards.

And the constant c will give us the y-intercept.

Vertex Form:

The vertex form of a quadratic is:

a(x-h)^2+k

There are also two details that can be conveyed by a quadratic in vertex form:  (1) the vertex, and (2) the leading coefficient.

The leading coefficient is given by a. Again, this tells us the orientation of the parabola.

And the vertex is given by (h, k).

Hence, in my opinion, vertex form is the best form of a quadratic since it immediately reveals the vertex, the most important aspect of a quadratic.

Factored Form:

The factored form of a quadratic is:

a(x-p)(x-q)

Where p and q are the zeros/roots/solutions of the quadratic.

Again, factored form gives us two details about the quadratic: (1) the leading coefficient, and (2) the zeros.

The zeros tells us when the parabola crosses the x-axis, which can assist in graphing.

Summary:

Therefore, each form of a quadratic equation has its own benefits.

Standard form allow us to find the y-intercept.

Vertex form allow us to quickly locate the vertex.

And factored form allows us to quickly determine the roots/zeros.

Hence, depending on the question, each form can be useful in its own way.
