Okay, so this is what I came to. I think that you might need to look through the placement of the problem again and your x's, but other than that, here it is!

Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation.<span>425=<span><span>−<span>250<span>x2</span></span></span>+<span>6250x

</span></span></span>Step 2: Subtract -250x^2+6250x from both sides.<span><span>425−<span>(<span><span>−<span>250<span>x2</span></span></span>+<span>6250x</span></span>)</span></span>=<span><span><span>−<span>250<span>x2</span></span></span>+<span>6250x</span></span>−<span>(<span><span>−<span>250<span>x2</span></span></span>+<span>6250x</span></span>)</span></span></span><span><span><span><span>250<span>x2</span></span>−<span>6250x</span></span>+425</span>=0
</span>
Step 3: Use quadratic formula with a=250, b=-6250, c=425.<span>x=<span><span><span>−b</span>±<span>√<span><span>b2</span>−<span><span>4a</span>c</span></span></span></span><span>2a</span></span></span><span>x=<span><span><span>−<span>(<span>−6250</span>)</span></span>±<span>√<span><span><span>(<span>−6250</span>)</span>2</span>−<span><span>4<span>(250)</span></span><span>(425)</span></span></span></span></span><span>2<span>(250)</span></span></span></span><span>x=<span><span>6250±<span>√38637500</span></span>500</span></span><span><span>x=<span><span>252</span>+<span><span><span><span>110</span><span>√15455</span></span><span> or </span></span>x</span></span></span>=<span><span>252</span>+<span><span><span>−1</span>10</span><span>√15455
</span></span></span></span><u>
Answer:</u><span><span>x=<span><span>252</span>+<span><span><span><span>110</span><span>√15455</span></span><span> or </span></span>x</span></span></span>=<span><span>252</span>+<span><span><span>−1</span>10</span><span>√<span>15455</span></span></span></span></span>

uysha [10]

Answer:


Step-by-step explanation:   emma's amount be X .  justin has $7.50+x because he has $7.50 more than emma.Since emma has 7.50+x-$12.to get everyones amount add what they have together which is=$7.50+x+$7.50+x-12 which in total is $63.00.after the calculations you get x=30.now distribute the x equally. so justin has $7.50+30=37.50.we also distribute it with emma's which is 7.50+30-12=25.5.

justin=$37.50

Emma=$25.50

to be sure add 37.50+25.50=$63
