You purchase x number of balloons for your party. You distribute them evenly among 8 tables. While you are finishing up with your decorations, 2 balloons pop. Is it true that each table will now have x − 2 8/2 balloons? Explain why or why not. someone help plzz

No, it's just maximum of two tables that lost balloon so there is no way it affected each table.

Step-by-step explanation:

Number of balloons purchased= x

Number of tables = 8.

Each table has = x/8 balloons

If 2 balloons pop.

Let's assume it's just from a table

That table has( x/8 -2)

If it's from 2 table

The two table has

(X/8-1) for both tables

But the total balloon remaining = x-2

There is no particular equation that can describe the gallon on each table because it's only two balloons that popped.

saving = more money

step-by-step explanation:

if you have 100 bucks, and you want to buy a candy bar, even if you have one at home, if you choose not to buy it, you save.

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
