Answer:

x=-4, x=9

Step-by-step explanation:

We write this into words:

difference = subtraction

square = ^2

a number = x

is equal to = =

5 times that number = 5x

x^2-36 = 5x

write in standard form

x^2-5x-36

what adds to -5 and multiplies to -36?

-9 and 4!

(x-9)(x+4)

x-9 = 0

x= 9

x+4 = 0

x=-4

Select the objects that hold the same amount of liquid as a 98 fluid ounce jug

Tema [17]

To answer this question, you need to know how many fluid ounces are in a pint and in a quart. None of the choices reflect 98 fl oz, so I showed the ones that would hold 96 fluid ounces.

1 cup = 8 fl oz
2 cups = 16 fl oz
1 pint = 2 cups, so 1 pint also equals 16 fl oz.

2 pints equal 1 quart, so 16 x 2 = 32 oz (the number of fluid ounces in a quart)

1 pint - 16 fl oz
1 quart = 32 fl oz

Choice A: 3 quarts x 32 =96 fl oz.
Choice B: 2 quarts x 32 = 64 fl oz
Choice C: 2 quarts x 32 + 2 pints x 16 = 64 + 32 (96 fl oz)
Choice D: 1 quart x 32 + 8 cups x 8 = 32 + 64 (96 fl oz)
Choice E: 2 cups x 8 + 2 pints x 16 = 16 + 32 (48 fl oz)
