Step-by-step explanation:
The goal to solving any equation is to have x = {something}. That means we need to get the x out from underneath that radical. It's a square root, so we can "undo" it by squaring. Square both sides because this is an equation. Squaring both sides gives you

Get everything on one side of the equals sign and set the quadratic equal to 0:

Throw this into the quadratic formula to get that the solutions are x = 5 and -8. We need to see if only one works, both work, or neither work in the original equation.
Does
?
and

and 5 = 5. So 5 works. Let's try -8 now:
and
so

-8 = 8? No it doesn't. So only 5 works. Your choice is the third one down.
In the given question, we come to know that Sammy sold 5 bottles for every 3 water bottles sold by David. In this case we get the ratio as 5:3
Now this ratio indicates that the total number of bottles can be divided into 8 parts for finding out a single part. the total number of water bottles that are sold by Sammy and David together are 160.
Now on dividing this total number of bottles by 8 we get the 20 as one part.
The,
Number of Bottles sold by Sammy = 5 * 20
= 100
Number of bottles sold by David = 3 * 20
= 60
So Sammy sold 100 water bottles and David sold 60 water bottles from the total of 160 water bottles.
