This does not look easy to factor, so I'd suggest using the quadratic formula:
-1 plus or minus sqrt( 1-4(3)(-5) )
x = -----------------------------------------------
2*3
-1 plus or minus sqrt(61)
= ------------------------------------
6
Thus, there are 2 real, unequal, irrational roots / solutions.
Ahmad = 1/6
Barry = 1/2
Tara = 1 - 1/6 - 1/2 = 1/3
1/3 of the seashells = 76
3/3 of the seashells = 76 x 3
3/3 of the seashells = 228
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Answer: They had 228 seashells altogether.

Try graphing them in desmos
X^2 = b^2-c^2
x^2= sqrt117^2-6^2
x^2=sqrt117×sqrt117-36
x^2=117-36
x^2=81
x=sqrt81
x=9cm
Answer:
14 ounces of blue paint
Step-by-step explanation:
The ratio of blue to yellow is 2:7
To solve this problem we can make a proportion:
2/7=x/49
the numerator represents the blue paint, the denominator represents the yellow paint
To solve the proportion you have to cross multiply:
2*49=7*x
x=14
She needs to add 14 oz of blue paint
I hope this helps :)
