Well the P should probably be 4
It takes 6 seconds for it to hit the ground.
0 = -5x²+20x+60
We can solve this by factoring. First factor out the GCF, -5:
0 = -5(x²-4x-12)
Now we want factors of -12 that sum to -4. -6(2) = -12 an -6+2 = -4:
0 = -5(x-6)(x+2)
Using the zero product property, we know that either x-6=0 or x+2=0; this gives us the answers x=6 or x=-2. Since we cannot have negative time, x=6.
There isn't really distributive property in division. The answer is 18.
It's basically 5,000*2=10,000
and 10,000/2=5,000. your answer would be either they multiplied 5,000 by 2 and 10,000 divided by 2, they increased the sales by 5,000
