9 pounds
8oz x 18 = 144oz
144oz/16(oz per lb) = 9 lb
Solution D
Just put into a calculator
Hope I helped :)
You first need to cross multiply to get 8x+8=6x^2-6. Then make the function into 6x^2-8x-14=0 which can be simplified into 3x^2-4x-7=0 by dividing the equation by 2. Then you must split the middle(-4x) to get 3x^2+3x-7x-7=0. This simplifies to 3x(x+1)-7(x+1)=0 and then to (3x-7)(x+1)=0. From here you just solve for each root which you will find are x= -1 and 7/3
