Answer:
n =
, n = 
Step-by-step explanation:
6n² - 5n - 7 = - 8 ( add 8 to both sides )
6n² - 5n + 1 = 0 ← in standard form
Consider the product of the factors of the coefficient of the n² term and the constant term which sum to give the coefficient of the n- term
product = 6 × 1 = 6 and sum = - 5
The factors are - 3 and - 2
Use these factors to split the n- term
6n² - 3n - 2n + 1 = 0 ( factor the first/second and third/fourth terms )
3n(2n - 1) - 1(2n - 1) = 0 ← factor out (2n - 1) from each term
(2n - 1)(3n - 1) = 0 ← in factored form
Equate each factor to zero and solve for n
3n - 1 = 0 ⇒ 3n = 1 ⇒ n = 
2n - 1 = 0 ⇒ 2n = 1 ⇒ n =

Let be "x" the number of colored pencils in the box.
According to the information given in the exercise, there are 84 pencils in the box and 53 of them are regular pencils.
Knowing this information, you can set up the following equation:

Finally, you have to solve for the variable "x" in order to find its value. In order to do this, you can apply the Subtraction property of equality by subtracting 53 from both sides of the equation:

The answer is: There are 31 colored pencils in the box.
Answer:
Alecia lives farther from school
Step-by-step explanation:
<em>Georgia</em>
we know that
The distance from the school to her home is 67/100 of a mile

<em>Alecia</em>
we know that
The distance from the school to her home is
3/10 of a mile plus 4/10 of a mile
so

Compare the distances

therefore
Alecia lives farther from school
