Answer:
144 cookies
Step-by-step explanation:
Since the 3 dozen cookies she baked was 1/4th the amount in total, all you have to do to find the total amount is multiply the fraction of the cookies 3 dozen (36) by 4.
36×4 = 144 cookies in total
Because the polynomial has degree 2, we can assume that there are 2 solutions (roots), whether real or imaginary.
You can subtract 60 in order to put this in standard form
48x^2+44x-60 = 0
From there, just put a,b, and c into the quadratic formula and you're good to solve for your answers.
(-b+-sqrt(b^2-4ac))/2a
(-44+-sqrt(44^2-4(48)(-60)))/2(48)
Then solve.
There is probably a better way, but this should give you the two roots/solutions.
Answer:
–4(x + 3) ≤ –2 – 2x
>>.....-4x -12 ≤ -2 -2x
>> -12 +2 ≤ +2x
>> - 10 ≤ 2x
>> -5 ≤ x............>> x >= -5
