Answer:

x = 4 or x = 12

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

y = -10x² + 160x - 430

When y = $50

50 = -10x² + 160x - 430

50 + 430 = -10x² + 160x

480 = -10x² + 160x

-10x² + 160x - 480 = 0

Divide through by -10

x² - 16x + 48 = 0

Solve the quadratic equation using factorization method

+48 = -12 × -4

-16 = -12 -4

Therefore,

-12 and -4 are both factors

x² - 16x + 48 = 0

(x - 4 )(x - 12 ) = 0

x - 4 = 0

x = 4

OR

x - 12 = 0

x = 12

Katherine and Shally had $288 altogether. Katherine gave 1/3 of her share to Shally and their father gave $68 to Shally. They no
erastova [34]
1/3 of $288 is $96 So, therefore Shally had $96 at first.
But They both didn't have the same amount of money after too because:
1/3 of $288 is $96 
$96 + $68 = $164     So Shally has $164

Now, $288 - $96 = $192.    So Katherine has $192

So therefore they did not have the same amount of money but 1/3 of $288 is $96
