Divide 19.99 / 3
Get 6.663
Round to 6.66
Unit rate for 3 pizzas at 19.99 is 6.66
Perimeter of a square: side length * 4, since squares have equal side lengths
Take 2x - 3 for the side length and plug it into the formula.
(2x - 3) * 4 can be rewritten as 4(2x - 3)
Distribute 4 inside the parentheses.
8x - 12 = perimeter of the square
m^2 -11m -60 = 0
m^2 -11m =60
(m^2 -11m + 121/4) = 361/4
(m - 11/2)^2 = 361/4
m - 11/2 = + or - 19/2
m = 11/2 + 19/2, 11/2 - 19/2
m = 15, -4
---------------------------------------------------
m^2 -11m -60
(11 +- Square root (121 +240))/2
11/2 +- 19/2
m= 15, -4
----------------------------------------------------
m^2 -11m -60
(m - 15) (m + 4)
m = 15, -4
