Answer:
a. 12 minutes
b. 34 minutes
Step-by-step explanation:
Here, we are told that Ima has driven 5 minutes before Polly started driving
So if Ima has driven for x minutes , polly would have driven for y minutes but the difference between x and y is 5
So mathematically;
x = y + 5
a. 17 = y + 5
y = 17-5 = 12 minutes
b. x = 29 + 5
x = 34 minutes
The value of b is -16 and the value of ac is 60 after comparing with the standard equation.
<h3>What is a quadratic equation?</h3>
Any equation of the form
where x is variable and a, b, and c are any real numbers where a ≠ 0 is called a quadratic equation.
As we know, the formula for the roots of the quadratic equation is given by:

We have a quadratic function:
= 3x² - 16x + 20
On comparing with standard function:
b = -16
a = 3
c = 20
ac = 3(20) = 60
Thus, the value of b is -16 and the value of ac is 60 after comparing with the standard equation.

I think 14 is B (idrk) and 15 is definitely C
