Answer:

That can be re-written:

x^2 + 5x -8 = 0

We use the Quadratic Formula

a=1

b = 5

c = -8

x = [-b +- sq root (b^2 - 4ac) ] / 2a

x = [-5 +- sq root (25 - - 32)] / 2

x1 = [-5 + sq root (57)] / 2

x1 = 1.27491722

x2 = [-5 - sq root (57)] / 2

x2 = -6.2749172176

Jen measured the growth of a sunflower in one week it grew 2 and 1 half in

Pie

So you basically add the amount it grew each week. So week one is 2 and 1/2, week two is 2 and 3/4 and week three is 3 and 1/4. to make things simpler, add week two and three which gets you 6inches, then add week one, to get 8 and a half inches.
