Which of the following (1, 16, 27, 81) is not a square number?
Let's represent the number of hours with the variable 'h' (or whatever letter you want it to be):
265 + 48h = 553
Substract both sides by 265:
48h = 288
Divide:
h = 6
6 hours of labor was spent
We hates fractions
times everybody by 6x
6=x²-5x
minus 6 both sides
0=x²-5x-6
factor
what 2 numbers multiply toget -6 and add to get -5
-6 and 1
0=(x-6)(x+1)
set to zero
x-6=0
x=6
x+1=0
x=-1
x=6 or -1
