Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
We can rewrite the question as (x-5)*(x-5).
Using the FOIL Method (First, Outside, Inside, Last):
This simplifies to
2x^2 - 3 = -4x - 1
2x^2 + 4x - 3 + 1 = 0
2^2 + 4x - 2 = 0 <==
Answer:
Is this a question or is this spamming numbers ?
So if the bag contains half as many red marbles as blue ones, and there are 8 reds then there are 16 blues. 16 + 8= 24 if you want there to be 1/4 white marbles add 6. 6/30 is 1/4.
So the answer comes out to be 30 marbles in the bag
