In this problem, we need to plug in the given x values for

and find a and b.
When we plug in 1, we get:

Simplify:



We got our first statement about the values of the variables. If we find one more we can find those 2 variables.
We have another given root: 4.
Plug it in:




Now we have our second one. We can combine them:

I use elimination method which is easier here.
Multiply the top equation by -1:

Add them up:

Simplify:

Now we have a, we can plug in one of those equations to find b:



So, the answers are

and

.
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.
(X+4)(X-4) is the LCD because you just have to look at the denominators and see what factors or values are not already part of your LCD.
Answer: x < 360
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x be the total cost for the trip.
And, Here the total number of person = 4
Therefore, the cost for each person = x/4
And, According to the question, The cost must below $90 per person.
Therefore, x/4 < 90
⇒ x < 360
Which is the required inequality for the situation.
