Start with <span>x^2 +14x = -24,
Find HALF the value of 14: 7
Square this: 49
Add 49, and then subtract 49: x^2 + 14x + 49 - 49 = -24 We have a
perfect square
Rewrite the quadratic as the sq. of a binomial: trinomial on
the left
(x+7)^2 = 25
Take the sqrt of both sides: x+7 = plus or minus 5
Then x = -2 and x = -12</span>

x=((2/3)*150)/10=(2/3)*15=10 cups of milk
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
If 3⁄4 gallons of water come out of a hose in 15 minutes, to calculate the rate of water that comes out in an hour (60 minutes), we will use the expression;
3/4 gallons = 15 minutes
x gallons = 60minutes
cross multiply
15x = 3/4 * 60
15x = 180/4
15x = 45
x = 45/15
x = 3/1
x = 3:1
Hence the water rate in gallons per hour is 3 gallons per hour
