Alexis, Becca, and Cindy do volunteer work at Adopt-a-Pet Animal Shelter. They worked a total of 285 hours at the shelter last s
swat32

Alexis worked for 59 hours, Becca worked for 74 hours and Cindy worked for 152 hours.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

Total hours worked by three of them = 285 hours

Let,

x represent the hours of Alexis.

y represent the hours of Becca.

z represent the hours of Cindy.

According to given statement;

x+y+z=285    Eqn 1

Alexis worked 15 hours less than Becca.

x = y-15         Eqn 2

z = 2y+4        Eqn 3

Putting value of x and z from Eqn 2 and 3 in Eqn 1

(y-15)+y+(2y+4)=285\\y-15+y+2y+4=285\\4y-11=285\\4y=285+11\\4y=296

Dividing both sides by 4

\frac{4y}{4}=\frac{296}{4}\\y=74

Putting y=74 in Eqn 2

x=74-15\\x=59

Putting y=74 in Eqn 3

z=2(74)+4\\z=148+4\\z=152

Alexis worked for 59 hours, Becca worked for 74 hours and Cindy worked for 152 hours.

Find the roots of the equation: y=4(X+4)^2 -12
Dafna1 [17]
0=4(x²+8x+16)-12
0=4x²+32x+64-12
0=4x²+32x+52
0=x²+8x+13
D=b²-4ac
D=64-52=12
x=(-b-√D)/2a
x=(-b+√D)/2a
x=(-8-2√3)/2= (-2(4+√3))/2= -(4+√3)
AND
x=(-8+2√3)/2=-2(4-√3)/2= -(4-√3)
