Find the value of the variable(s) in each figure. Explain your reasoning​

x=14

y=37

Step-by-step explanation:

9x+12+3x=180

12x+12=180

      -12   -12

12x=168

divide both sides by 12 and

x=14

then plug in 3(14)+4y-10=180

42+4y-10=180

32+4y=180

4y=148

y=37

if the eqn of the parabola is f(x) = (x-4)(x+2), we need to mult. this out to find the coordinates of the vertex.

then f(x) = x^2 + 2x - 4x - 8, and f(x) = x^2 - 2x - 8.

one way in which you can find the vertex is to calculate x = -b / (2a).   here, that comes to

        )

x = = 1.   f(1) = 1^2 - 2(1) - 8 = - 9.   vertex is at (1, -9).

        2(1) 

find another point on the curve:   let x=0, for which y=-8.   then (0, -8) is on the curve.   plot the vertex and this point and draw a smooth parabola thru both.

hope this
