Part A
Your problem statement already shows you the conversion.
Bottles purchased: 5×10¹⁰
Bottles recycled: 8.3×10⁹
Part B
The ratio of bottles purchased to bottles recycled is
... (5×10¹⁰)/(8.3×10⁹) = 0.6×10¹ = 6.0
The number of bottles purchased is 6 times the number of bottles recycle.

Answer:
x^2 - 11x + 24
Step-by-step explanation:
Foil the equation
x^2 - 3x - 8x + 24
x^2 - 11x + 24
Answer:
x = (1/2) (-9 ± √73)
Step-by-step explanation:
Using completing the square method
x²+9x+2=0
x²+9x = -2 (complete the square by adding (9/2)² to both sides)
x²+9x + (9/2)² = -2 + (9/2)²
( x + (9/2) )² = -2+ (9/2)²
( x + (9/2) )² = -2+ (81/4)
( x + (9/2) )² = 73/4
x + (9/2) = ± √(73/4)
x + (9/2) = ± √(73) / 2
x = -(9/2) ± √(73) / 2 (factorize out (1/2) )
x = (1/2) (-9 ± √73)
