So I looked it up and it says something about 8 hours
To solve this, you would divide 478 by 18, which equals 26.5555556. Since you can't have half a package of paper, the answer would be 26. Hope this helps!
Your equation would be 60x=283
the 60 would equal the number of cartons that our sold each day.The x would equal the unknown number of days and it would all equal 283 cartons because that is the number of cartons that where sold all together
Maybe you thought about this:
m^2+6m-77+5=0 => m^2+6m-72=0 => m^2+ 2*3*m+3^2-3^2-72=0
=> m^2+2*3*x+3^2= (m+3)^2 this is the complete square of the binomial, we will still keep it =>
(m+3)^2 -9 -72=0 => (m+3)^2 - 81 = 0 => (m+3)^2 - 9^2 = 0
Now we got the difference squares, it mean a^2 - b^2 = (a-b) (a+b)
In according to this => (m+3-9) (m+3+9) = 0 =>
(m-6) (m+12)=0 => m-6=0 or m+12=0 => m1=6 or m2= -12 !!!!
Are you satisfied with this solution?
