Answer:
That can be re-written:
x^2 + 5x -8 = 0
We use the Quadratic Formula
a=1
b = 5
c = -8
x = [-b +- sq root (b^2 - 4ac) ] / 2a
x = [-5 +- sq root (25 - - 32)] / 2
x1 = [-5 + sq root (57)] / 2
x1 = 1.27491722
x2 = [-5 - sq root (57)] / 2
x2 = -6.2749172176
Step-by-step explanation:
Hi!
So all we would need to do is 13*5*5=325. The volume is 325ft cubed.
Hope this helps!
Let x = the numbers of girls
thus
the numbers of boys = 2x
x + 2x = 27
3x = 27
x = 9
2x = 2 . 9 =18
girls = 9 & boys = 18
7 times of 1/2 cup = 7 x 1/2
7 times of 1/2 cup = 7/2
7 times of 1/2 cup = 3 1/2 cups.
