Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

2x² + 5x = 12

2x² + 5x - 12 = 0

x² + 5x - 24 = 0

factors of 24 are 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12, 24. the only pair that adds to 5 is 8 and 3

2x² - 3x + 8x - 12 = 0

split the equation and factor

2x² - 3x = 0 ||| 8x - 12 = 0

x(2x - 3) ||| 4(2x - 3)

therefore the pair is (2x - 3)(x + 4)

2x - 3 = 0

2x = 3

x = 3/2

x + 4 = 0

x = -4

For this case we have that half of the flag was painted blue and the other half yellow.

In addition, a third of the blue half was covered with stars.

So:

$\frac {1} {2} * \frac {1} {3} = \frac {1} {6}$

A sixth of the flag is blue with stars.

Answer:

$\frac {1} {6}$
