x² - 4x - 12 = 0
Factor the left side: (x + 2) · (x - 6) = 0
The equation is true if either factor is zero.
If (x + 2) = 0 then x = -2 .
If (x - 6) = 0 then x = 6 .
C. 1 solution hope it helps
we know the blue and white paints are on a 1.5 : 5 ratio, thus, if we have a total of 16.25 gallons of paint to be split along that ratio, we can simply divide 16.25 by (1.5+5) and distribute accordingly.

Always add them all around and then divide the two and you should get the correct answer
