Step-by-step explanation:
given data
potatoes weight = 1354.5 kg
no of store = 18
store in Bronx = 12
to find out
How many kilograms of potatoes will be delivered to stores in the Bronx
solution
first we find the 1 store potatoes deliver weight that is
1 store deliver = ............1
put here value in equation 1
1 store deliver =
1 store deliver = 75.25 kg
so
deliver in 12 stores in the Bronx are
deliver in 12 stores in the Bronx = weight of 1 store deliver × 12
deliver in 12 stores in the Bronx = 75.25 × 12
deliver in 12 stores in the Bronx = 903 kg

You know 1 is not a root because the sum of the coeffcients of the equation is 14, not zero.
It is fairly easy to try 3 by synthetic division (see attachment), which tells you that 3 is a root and the remaining quadratic factor is x²-3x-5. The quadratic formula tells you the roots of that factor are
... x = (-b±√(b²-4ac))/(2a) = (3±√29)/2
The appropriate choices are
... C. (3-√29)/2
... D. (3+√29)/2
... F. 3

The quadratic formula tells you the solution to
... ax²+bx+c=0
is x = (-b±√(b²-4ac))/(2a)
We have a=1, b=-3, c=-5.
