Solve for x over the real numbers:
-3 x^2 + 16 x + 12 = 0
The left hand side factors into a product with three terms:
-(x - 6) (3 x + 2) = 0
Multiply both sides by -1:
(x - 6) (3 x + 2) = 0
Split into two equations:
x - 6 = 0 or 3 x + 2 = 0
Add 6 to both sides:
x = 6 or 3 x + 2 = 0
Subtract 2 from both sides:
x = 6 or 3 x = -2
Divide both sides by 3:
Answer: | x = 6 or x = -2/3
8 24
11 33
8 *33=264 and 11*24 =264 They are proportional
The answer is C BECAUSE for this question, you can think relatively. They give you the responses for 54 people surveyed, however they want the answer from 1,140 students. You can set up the proportion of 30/54 = x/1140 to find out the number of students agreeing to keep the mascot. You get 1900/3 or 633 1/3.
