Answer:
Absolutely anything! It all depends on what the equation is. Variables can be any number with exception of 0 As a denominator. Otherwise pick anything as long as the end results come out to the number you are seeking.
We know there are 4 quarts in a gallon, so how many quarts in 2.5 gallons anyway?
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Given a general quadratic formula given as ax²bx+c = 0
To generate the general formula to solve the quadratic equation, we can use the completing the square method as shown;
Step 1:
Bringing c to the other side
ax²+bx = -c
Dividing through by coefficient of x² which is 'a' will give:
x²+(b/a)x = -c/a
- Completing the square at the left hand side of the equation by adding the square of half the coefficient x i.e (b/2a)² and adding it to both sides of the equation we have:
x²+(b/a)x+(b/2a)² = -c/a+(b/2a)²
(x+b/2a)² = -c/a+(b/2a)²
(x+b/2a)² = -c/a + b²/4a²
- Taking the square root of both sides
√(x+b/2a)² = ±√-c/a + b²/√4a²
x+b/2a = ±√(-4ac+b²)/√4a²
x+b/2a =±√b²-4ac/2a
- Taking b/2a to the other side
x = -b/2a±√√b²-4ac/2a
Taking the LCM:
x = {-b±√b²-4ac}/2a
This gives the vertex form with how it is used to Solve a quadratic equation.
Answer: 220
<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>
Children (x): $2
Teens (y): $3, 
Adults: (z): $5
Quantity: x + y + z = 570 ⇒ x + + z = 570 ⇒ 1.75x + z = 570
Cost: 2x + 3y + 5z = 1950 ⇒ 2x + 3
+ 5z = 1950 ⇒ 2x + 2.25x + 5z = 1950 ⇒ 4.25x + 5z = 1950
Qty: 1.75x + z = 570 → 5(1.75x + z = 570) → 8.75x + 5z = 2850
Cost: 4.25x + 5z = 1950 → -1(4.25x + 5z = 1950 → <u> -4.25x - 5z</u> = <u>-1950 </u>
4.50x = 900
x = 200
Teens (y):
y = 
= 
= 150
Quantity: x + y + z = 570
200 + 150 + z = 570
350 + z = 570
z = 220
