write a system of equations to describe the situation below, solve using elimination, and fill in the blanks.

karlene likes to make desserts for bake sales. last month, she made 3 batches of brownies and 2 batches of cookies, which called for 13 eggs total. the month before, she baked 3 batches of brownies and 3 batches of cookies, which required a total of 15 eggs. how many eggs did karlene use for a batch of each dessert?

karlene uses eggs to make a batch of brownies and eggs to make a batch of cookies.

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
