The answer to this question is 29.542 hectares
Leading coefficient = -3
Constant = 2
When you order them in standard form, you need to put them in ascending order of the exponents. Therefore the -3x^2 would come first, which makes the number attached (-3) the lead coefficient.
Also, since the number (2) without an x attached would be last (due to the power of x technically being 0), than that is the constant.
The answer would be No solution
One Way:
We can change the mixed number to a decimal for comparing.

m =

m = 1.25 m
1.4 m > 1.25 m
Darren > Luke
Darren's jump was higher by (1.4-1.25)
0.15 m
Or another way change the decimal to a fraction and the mixed to an improper fraction too.

=

(Luke)
1.4 =

(Darren)
We need a common denominator to compare

(Luke)

(Darren)

(Luke)

(Darren)

Darren > Luke
By:

-

=

Which is also by
0.15 m
Darren jumps higher and by 0.15 m
During the 9 mile hike he spends 2 periods of half hour swimming = 1 hour.
actual hiking time = 3*3 = 9 hours
So total time = 9+1 = 10 hours
