I don't know what you mean by unknown factor but a quotient is the answer of a division problem
Answer:
The inequality that represents this situation is: 
Step-by-step explanation:
Since the plane already had 140 pounds on board and "n" boxes will be loaded on it, then the weigh of each box multiplied by the number of box should be the extra cargo on the plane. This extra cargo added to the previous load must be less than the limit of cargo the plane can take as shown below:
I know of two ways to solve quadratic equations. The first is through factoring. Let us take the example (x^2)+2x+1=0. We can factor this equation out and the factors would be (x+1)(x+1)=0. To solve for the roots, we equate each factor to 0, that is
x+1=0; x+1=0
In this case, the factors are the same so the root of the equation is
x=1.
The other way is to use the quadratic formula. The quadratic formula is given as [-b(+-)sqrt(b^2-4ac)]/2a where, using our sample equation above, a=1, b=2 and c=1. Substitute these to the formula, and you will get the same answer as the method above.
60-41 1/2=18 1/2 18 1/2 divided by 1/2=37/2*2 (cross cancel 2s)=37
Remember, you can do ANYTHING to an equaiton as long as you do it to BOTH SIDES
we can try to get k by itself bymaking that -17 into 0 since k+0=k
-17+17=0 right so
K-17=-12
add 17 to BOTH SIDES
K+17-17=17-12
K+0=5
K=5
