You could simplify this work by factoring "3" out of all four terms, as follows:
3(x^2 + 2x - 3) =3(0) = 0
Hold the 3 for later re-insertion. Focus on "completing the square" of x^2 + 2x - 3.
1. Take the coefficient (2) of x and halve it: 2 divided by 2 is 1
2. Square this result: 1^2 = 1
3. Add this result (1) to x^2 + 2x, holding the "-3" for later:
x^2 +2x
4 Subtract (1) from x^2 + 2x + 1: x^2 + 2x + 1 -3 -1 = 0,
or x^2 + 2x + 1 - 4 = 0
5. Simplify, remembering that x^2 + 2x + 1 is a perfect square:
(x+1)^2 - 4 = 0
We have "completed the square." We can stop here. or, we could solve for x: one way would be to factor the left side:
[(x+1)-2][(x+1)+2]=0 The solutions would then be:
x+1-2=0=> x-1=0, or x=1, and
x+1 +2 = 0 => x+3=0, or x=-3. (you were not asked to do this).
Answer: q = 40
Step-by-step explanation:
Given the quadratic formula as
x = [-b +/-√(b^2 -4ac)]/2a
b = -14
a = 1
c = q
Difference d between the two roots.
d = [-b + √(b^2 -4ac)]/2a - [-b -√(b^2 -4ac)]/2a
d = 2√(b^2 -4ac)/2a
d = √(b^2 -4ac)/a
And d = 6
Substituting the values of a,b and c. We have;
6 = √[(-14^2) - (4×1×q)]
Square both sides
6^2 = 196 - 4q
4q = 196 - 36
q = 160/4
q = 40
The equation becomes
x^2 - 14x + 40 = 0
<span>A.5/4 is your answer.
It is not possible for you to have a greater amount of chance than a 100% chance (which will definitely happen).

To solve this, you would take 13% of 28,540.
We can do this by multiplying 28,540 by .13 .
This give you the answer of a $3,710.20 commission.
Hope this helps.
I think your asking how much the school will have left over. If so:
125 ( not including the tickets)
It depends on how many kids are coming to the dance in order to fully solve this problem.
You didn't word this properly so that what I got with what I had:)
If you have anymore questions, ask me them on my profile so I'll be sure to get them:)
I hope this helps:)
