Use elimination to solve each system of equations.

1. 3x+4y=29
6x+5y=43

Step-by-step explanation:

3x+4y=29 (1)

6x+5y=43 (2)

Multiply equation (1) by 2

6x + 8y = 58(3)

Substracting (2) from (3)

8y - 5y = 58 - 43

3y = 15

Dividing by 3

3y/3 = 15/3

y = 5

Substituting y = 5 into (2)

6x+5y=43

6x + 5(5) = 43

6x + 25 = 43

6x = 43 - 25

6x = 18

Dividing by 6

6x/6 = 18/6

x = 3

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
