We want to know the time, <em>t</em>, it takes the ball to reach a height (<em>y</em>) of 0.
We can factor out the GCF first. The largest number that will divide evenly into 16 and 24 is 8. Also, both terms have a <em>t</em>, so we can factor that out as well:
(-16/8 = -2 and 24/8 = 3)
Using the zero product property, we know that either 8t=0 or -2t+3=0. Solving the first equation, we would divide both sides by 8:
8t/8=0/8
t=0
This is at 0 seconds, before the ball is in the air at all.
Solving the second equation, we start by subtracting 3 from both sides:
-2t+3-3=0-3
-2t=-3
Now we divide both sides by -2
-2t/-2=-3/-2
t=1.5
After 1.5 seconds, the ball will hit the ground again.

so... he sold 400 items, that means, whatever those quantities of c,b,p are, they add up to 400, thus
c+b+p = 400
now, the "c" sold for $10
the "b" sold for $8
and the "p" sold for $7
so, the amount of revenue on the "c" is 10 * c, or 10c
the revenue on "b" is 8*b or 8b
and the revenue on "p" is 7*p or 7p
whatever those amounts are, they ended up in $3,272
thus
10c + 8b + 7p = 3,272
now, he sold more lightly buttered, or "p", than just buttered corn or "b"
he actually sold twice as much, so whatever "b" is, "p" is twice that much
or
p = 2b
thus
solve for "b", to see how many buttered microwave popcorn Mike sold
how many lightly buttered? well, p = 2b
how many caramel ones? well c = 400 - 3b
