The ratio indicates that there are 8 dolls for every 7 teddy bears. That means that if there is 16 dolls, then there is 14 teddy bears. And that if there is 24 dolls, then there is 21 teddy bears. You could continue this pattern, or you could divide and multiply. If you have 160 dolls, then do 160/8 to simplify the ratio. You get 20. So if there is (8x20) dolls, then there is (7x20) teddy bears. 7x20 is 140, so there are 140 teddy bears.
This is simply 609 000 divided by 11 000
609 000 / 11 000.
Cancel each of the 3 zeros at the top and bottom
= 609/11

Quadratic equation is

WHEN

So, to make this true subtract 7 from each side.
The equation is now
7

- x - 7 = 0
Values for a, b, and c: a = 7, b = -1, c = -7
Plug these variables into the quadratic equation.
Square -1 to get 1 and multiply -4 x 7 x -7 to get 196.

Multiply 2 x -7 to get -14, the denominator, and add 1 to 196.
Since 197 is not a square number, and I don't know if you want to leave it in radical form or not, I will just because it's easier to understand.
Hope this helps!
