Hello DestinyKiara99 o/
We can solve this equation using the quadratic formula
Check it out...
x² + 6x - 24 = 0
Δ = 6² - 4.1.(-24)
Δ = 36 + 96
Δ = 132
x = -6 +/- √132 x' = -3 + √33
<span> -------------- /
2 \
x'' = - 3 - </span>√33
The correct answer is the letter D
I hope this help =)
Answer: 24 : 8 <em>or </em>24 to 8
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the number of adults be x
3/1 = 24/x . We have to do cross multiplication,
24 = 3x
x = 8
The answer is simple to work out you do 3/8 + 1/3
but the denominators are different so you find the lowest common multiple in this case 24 .
the frection is now 9/24 + 8/24 this is 17/24
I changed the fraction by doing this 24(common multiple) divided by 8 (denominator) that's how I got it if you don't understand just ask me
