Two distinct roots means two real solutions for x (the parabola needs to cross the x-axis twice)
Vertex form of a quadratic equation: (h,k) is vertex
y = a(x-h)^2 + k
The x of the vertex needs to equal 3
y = a(x-3)^2 + k
In order to have two distinct roots the parabola must be (+a) upward facing with vertex below the x-axis or (-a) downward facing with vertex above the x-axis. Parabolas are symmetrical so for an easy factorable equation make "a" 1 or -1 depending on if you want the upward/downward facing one.
y = (x-3)^2 - 1
Vertex (3,-1) upwards facing with two distinct roots 4 and 2
y = x^2 -6x + 9 - 1
y = x^2 -6x + 8
y = (x - 4)(x - 2)
Answer=24.49 I’m not 100% sure but I believe this is the answer :)

Answer: The required inequality is
and its solution is 
Step-by-step explanation: Given that Mustafa, Heloise, and Gia have written more than a combined total of 22 articles for the school newspaper.
Also, Heloise has written
as many articles as Mustafa has and Gia has written
as many articles as Mustafa has.
We are to write an inequality to determine the number of articles, m, Mustafa could have written for the school newspaper. Also, to solve the inequality.
Since m denotes the number of articles that Mustafa could have written. Then, according to the given information, we have

And the solution of the above inequality is as follows :

Thus, the required inequality is
and its solution is
