By the quadratic formula,

Then


Multiply numerator and denominator by the denominator's conjugate:

$27
2.65 x 2 (since he has to go both to and from work each day) = $5.30
Add the daily cost of the water bottle (1.45) to make his total cost for one day, which is 6.75
Multiply this number by 4 (because he goes 4 days a week) to get $27 for one week.
On average a lamb weighs about 200 pounds,
so 12345678910 multiplied by 200 =<span>2.469135782e+12
</span>2.469135782e+12 divided by 2000 = <span>1234567891 tons</span>
Answer: J=12
Explanation: To make this equation easier to solve, you can make everything a whole number (a.k.a. Remove the fractions). To do so, you can multiply everything in this equation by the Least Common Multiple (LCM) of all the denominators, which is 12. The equation now becomes:
-4=3J-40
Then, solve it using normal algebra:
-4=3J-40
36=3J
J=12
Much easier, right?!
Hope that helps シ
