There are no two numbers that multiply to 45 but add to -10.
This is because the only numbers that multiply to get 45 are 1x45, 3x15, 5x8. None of them can add to -10 even if you make some of the numbers negative instead.
If this is a factoring problem, you may have to use the quadratic equation instead.
Answer:
3 nickels and 5 quarters
Step-by-step explanation:
Let n = number of nickels
q = number of quarters
q = n+2
.25q + .05n = 1.40
Using the first equation and replacing q in the second equation
.25( n+2) + .05n = 1.40
Distribute
.25n+.50 +.05n = 1.40
Combine like terms
.30n +.5 = 1.40
Subtract .5 from each side
.3n +.5-.5 = 1.40-.4
.3n = .9
Divide by .3
.3n/.3 = .9/.3
n = 3
q = n+2
q=5

I was once homeschooled, ya know.
.
Let me walk you through the problems.
.
First of all...
.
we know the area of the garden. In order to find how many cups of fertilizer we need, we need to find THE AREA. Then, it's just a matter-of-fact of just multiplying the area by 1/8.
.
2. Information not needed? OF COURSE!! The money. Why we need money in this problem?! We find NUMBER OF CUPS, not MONEY NEEDED.
.
3. I need to determine how much cups of fertilizer I need. The answer? Oh, find the area. IT's 9 1/3 multiplied by 12, by the way. Then multiply the area by 1/8. BOOM!!
.
Need any more help, ask away!!
