If you would like to solve the equation 3 * a + b = 54, when b = 9, you can calculate this using the following steps:

b = 9
3 * a + b = 54
3 * a + 9 = 54
3 * a = 54 - 9
3 * a = 45 /3
a = 45/3
a = 15

The correct result would be 15.

Answer: $6+\sqrt{21}\ \text{and}\ 6-\sqrt{21}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Quadratic equation is

$x^2-12x+15=0$

Solving by completing the square method

$\Rightarrow x^2-2\cdot 6\cdot x+15=0\\\text{add and subtract 36}\\\Rightarrow x^2-2\cdot 6\cdot x+15+36-36=0\\\Rightarrow x^2-2\cdot 6\cdot x+36+(-36+15)=0\\\text{using}\ (a-b)^2=a^2+b^2-2ab\\\Rightarrow (x-6)^2-21=0\\\Rightarrow (x-6)^2=21\\\Rightarrow x-6=\pm \sqrt{21}\\\Rightarrow x=6\pm \sqrt{21}$

The solution set of the equation is $6+\sqrt{21}\ \text{and}\ 6-\sqrt{21}$

Answer:

$\large \boxed{\mathrm{served \ a \ greater \ variety \ of \ ages}} \\ \\ \large \boxed{\mathrm{range}}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Restaurant A <u>served a greater variety of ages</u> than Restaurant B, because the <u>range</u> of data for Restaurant A is greater than that of Restaurant B.

Range of a data set is the data spread.

Restaurant A is serving a greater variety of ages of people since it has a higher range than that of Restaurant B.
