There are no properties because you can do anything with subtraction and division
X^2 - 8x + 13 = 0
subtract 13 from both sides
x^2 - 8x = -13
-8/2 = -4, (-4)^2 = 16, add 16 to both sides
x^2 - 8x + 16 = -13 + 16
factor the left side
(x - 4)^2 = 3
I would either use a histogram or a frequency chart, but histogram is easier and neater
<span>57 boxes of detergent on the shelves in 2 minutes
</span><span>After 5 minutes, he had put 117 boxes on the shelves
117 - 57 = 60 (60 </span>boxes of detergent for 3 minutes)
60/3 = 20 (20 boxes of detergent per minute)
so
20 x 5 = 100 boxes of detergent
117 - 100 = 17 boxes
answer
17 boxes of detergent <span>were on the shelves when he started</span>
