We have the following expression:
 (x- (5/2)) ^ 2 = (13/4)
 Let's rewrite the given expression:
 x ^ 2 - 5x + 25/4 = (13/4)
 x ^ 2 - 5x + 25/4 - 13/4 = 0
 x ^ 2 - 5x + 12/4 = 0
 x ^ 2 - 5x + 3 = 0
 Answer:
 
the original equation given to Sam could have been:
 
x ^ 2 - 5x + 3 = 0

jeffrey's paycheck varies directly with the hours he works . when jeffrey works 5 hours , he gets paid $75.00. how much does jef
MrRissso [65]
Direct variations can be set up as proportions
5/75 = 8/x....5 hrs to 75 dollars = 8 hrs to x dollars
now we cross multiply
(5)(x) = (75)(8)
5x = 600
x = 600/5
x = 120 <== so he makes $120 for working 8 hrs

another way...
75/5 = 15..so he makes 15 per hr
15 * 8 = 120

a farmer planted 4 acres of soybeans for every 9 acres of corn. he planted a total of 400 acres. how many total acres of soybean
Tomtit [17]
Lets have 4x acres of soybeans , then it is going to be 9x acres of corn
(4x/9x=4/9)
Altogether we have (4x+9x) acres 
Altogether he planted 400  acres
So, we can write
4x+9x=400
13x=400
x=400/13

4x acres of soybeans  
4*400/13≈123 acres of soybeans
