The zeros of x^2+3x+30 can be obtained by the quadratic formula (we use this method because the function is not factorable and has no real solutions, so it is easiest).

For a general quadratic ax^2+bx+c=0,

x= \dfrac{-b \pm  \sqrt{b^2-4ac} }{2a}.

For our function, a = 1, b = 3, and c = 30.

We substitute and solve for x:

=\dfrac{-(3) \pm \sqrt{(3)^2-4(1)(30)} }{2(1)}= \dfrac{-3 \pm \sqrt{9-120} }{2}\\\\\\= \dfrac{-3 \pm \sqrt{-111} }{2}=\dfrac{-3 \pm i\sqrt{111} }{2}

x=\dfrac{-3+i \sqrt{111}}{2} \ \\\\\\\ x = \dfrac{-3-i \sqrt{111}}{2} \

The modulus of each complex solution is about 5.477, so neither solution is bigger or smaller.

Hey there
_________________
The correct answer is:
f(x+5)=(x+5)^2+3(x+5)-10

f(x+5)=x^2+10x+25+3x+15-10

f(x+5)=x^2+13x+30  and f(x+5)=x^2+kx+30 so

k=13

Now factor x^2+13x+30

Find j and k such that jk=ac=30 and j+k+b=13 so j and k are 10 and 3 so

(x+3)(x+10)

So the two zeros occur when x=-3 and -10 the smallest of which is:

x=-10

Let cheese wafers = x
chocolate wafers = y

we know they bought 20 total packets so x+y = 20, this can be re-written as x = 20-y

cheese wafers cost 2, so we have 2x
chocolate wafers cost 1, so we have 1y, which is just the letter y

so we know 2x + y = $25

replace x with x=20-y to get:

2(20-y)+y = 25

distribute the parenthesis:

40-2y +y = 25

combine like to terms to get:
40-y = 25

subtract 40 from each side"
-y = -15

divide both sides by -1
y = 15

chocolate wafers was y so they bought 15 chocolate wafers
cheese wafers was x, so they bought 20-15 = 5 cheese wafers
 
using the substitution method was the easiest way to isolate one of the variables in order to find the solution.
