1.x^2 +6x - 4 = 6x
X^2 + 6x -4 - 6x = 0
X^2 - 4 = 0
By difference of two squares :
X^2 - 4 = 0 can be written as (x-2) (x+2) = 0
(X-2)=0 therefore x= 2
(X+2)=0 therefore x= -2
2. X^2 - 8x = -6x
X^2 -8x + 6x = 0
X^2 - 2x = 0
X(X-2) = 0
X= 0, X= 2
You can get 18 dishes from 4 1/2 of a carton of Dan's ice cream.
I think its 1.012(500 - 100) = 400* 1.012 = 404.80 dollars
