If you would like to know how many dolls did Bob and Carol break today, you can calculate this using the following steps:
On average, they break: 12% of 175 = 12/100 * 175 = 21 dolls.
Today: 2/3 as many dolls as usual = 2/3 * 21 = 14 dolls
Result: Bob and Carol broke 14 dolls today.
The plus-minus sign represents that there are two possible outcomes.
In this case, we have

. When we branch out the possibilities we got 2 values:

and

Those are the roots of this equation. When they ask their product, they want you to multiply both numbers.
When we multiply them:

When we FOIL the we get:

Simplify:


So the product of the two roots of this equation is 6.
Answer:
14 square units
Step-by-step explanation:
There are several ways we can find the area. Probably the easiest is to cut the kite in half vertically and find the area of each triangle. The area of the kite will be double that.
The height of the kite is 7 units, and the width is 4 units. So each triangle will have a base of 7 and height of 2.
A = 1/2 bh
A = 1/2 (7) (2)
A = 7
The area of the kite is double that, so:
2A = 14
