and so on, and then, you graph those x,y coordinates
The correct answer would be

In order to solve for this you must first get the equation equal to 0.
<span>x^2=-5x-3 ----> add 5x to both sides.
x^2 + 5x = -3 ----> add 3 to both sides.
x^2 + 5x + 3 = 0
Now knowing this we can use the coefficients of each one in descending order of power as a, b and c.
a = 1 (because it is the coefficient to x^2)
b = 5</span> (because it is the coefficient to x)
c = 3 (because it is the end number)
Now we can plug these values into the quadratic equation.



And those would be your two answers.
So megan is four years younger than her aunt
m+4=a
or
m=a-4
the sum of their ages is at least 40
m+a<u>></u>40
subsitute a-4 for m
a-4+a<u /><u>></u>40
combine like terms
2a-4<u>></u>40
the answer is the third from the top
