The answer would be 92 for this problem
Step-by-step explanation:
4x² - 12x + 17 = 0
i is an imaginary number and it equals √-1, and you usually put it when the number under the root is negative.
So √-5 = √5i and √-4 = 2i
The first thing we must do for this case is to define variables.
We have then:
x: number of cats
y: number of dogs
We write the system of equations:
x / y = 2/3
(1/4) x + (1/2) y = 48
Solving the system we have:
x = 48
y = 72
The total number of animals is:
x + y = 48 + 72 = 120
Answer:
The total number of animals in the pet store is:
120
