Write a system of equations to describe the situation below, solve using any method, and fill in the blanks. Today's cafeteria specials at a high school in Ashland are a deluxe turkey sandwich and a chef salad. During early lunch, the cafeteria sold 14 turkey sandwiches and 61 chef salads, for a total of $150. During the late lunch, 14 turkey sandwiches and 25 chef salads were sold, for a total of $78. How much does each item cost? A turkey sandwich costs $ , and a chef salad costs $ .

Equation 1: 14t + 61s = 150

Equation 2: 14t + 25s = 78

Use Elimination (x)

(-1) (14t + 25s) = (78) (-1)

-14t - 25s = -78

14t + 61s = 150

+ -14t - 25s = -78

36s = 72

s = 2

Salad costs $2

Then find t

14t + 61(2) = 150

14t + 122 = 150

14t = 28

t = 2

Sandwich costs $2

let's cover over the formula of the vertex:

y = a(x – h)^2 + k

in this formula, (h,k) are the vertex, always remember that the positive or negative value of the vertex is based on the sign it has.

for example, if the vertex is -3,-6 then both the x and y value would have the positive sign attached to it and if it were a positive x and y value, then a negative sign would be attached to it.

with that being said, for our problem the x value is a positive one so we are looking for a number with a negative sign next to it, in this case the first and second choice.

however, for the first answer choice it isn't quite part of the formula so we know that the answer choice correctly displays the x value.

to confirm, we can see if the -1 fits correctly with the second answer choice, and as mentioned above a negative number will have a positive sign attached to it. so, for our problem we can see that -1 has been changed to +1, so we can confirm that the second answer choice is correct.

hence, our final answer is y=(x - 1)^2 + 1
