Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
4 quarts is 1 gallon
6 pints is 0.75 gallons
4 cups is 0.25 gallons
if you add all of those you would get 2 gallons
so she would need 1 more gallon of lemonade
So you want to solve for x?
It would be nice if this would easily factor:
(-4x + 5)(2x +1) = 0 This will not work!
So you need to use the quadratic formula:
a = -8, b = 4, c = 5

x = (-4 +/-

)/2(-8)
= (-4 +/-

)/-16
= (-4 +

)/-16
= 1/4 -

/4
