Answer:
x = - 10 ± 
Step-by-step explanation:
y = (x + 10)² , or
(x + 10)² = y ( take square root of both sides )
x + 10 = ±
( subtract 10 from both sides )
x = - 10 ± 
Answer:
he should use 6 fluid oz
Step-by-step explanation:
See below for a plot of the equation.
The y intercept is the y location where x=0 and can be found by solving 6y=180, which is y=30.
Likewise, the x intercept follows from y=0, so 4x=180 => x=45.
The interpretation of the intercepts is: what is the plan if you go for all small tables (ie., y=0) or all big tables (x=0). The answer is: you can rent either 30 small tables or 45 big ones.
All the other points on the line represent some mix of small and big tables (of course, x and y must be integer because you can't rent half tables).
