Let x = cost of the dishwasher.
The amounts the children are paying are:
Mark =20% = 1/5, so 1/5x
Sorin = 75
Raymond = 1/4x
Stephanie = 75
Kristin = 1/3x
Add them together:
x = 1/5x + 1/4x + 1/3x + 75 + 75
x - ( 1/5x + 1/4x + 1/3x ) = 150
Rewrite fractions with common denominator:
x - ( 12/60x + 15/60x + 20/60x ) = 150
60/60x - 47/60x = 150
13/60x = 150
x = 150/1 • 60/13
x = 9000/13
x = 692.31
The total cost of the dishwasher is $692.31
Now calculate the amount each child pays:
Mark = 1/5 x = 692.31/ 5 = $138.46
Sorin = $75.00
Raymond = 1/4 x = 692.31 / 4 = $173.08
Stephanie = $75.00
Kristin = 1/3 x = 692.31 / 3 = $230.77

Step-by-step explanation:
Given
4
- 5a² + 1 = 0
Use the substitution u = a², then equation is
4u² - 5u + 1 = 0
Consider the product of the coefficient of the u² term and the constant term
product = 4 × 1 = 4 and sum = - 5
The factors are - 4 and - 1
Use these factors to split the u- term
4u² - 4u - u + 1 = 0 ( factor the first/second and third/fourth terms )
4u(u - 1) - 1(u - 1) = 0 ← factor out (u - 1) from each term
(u - 1)(4u - 1) = 0
Equate each factor to zero and solve for u
u - 1 = 0 ⇒ u = 1
4u - 1 = 0 ⇒ 4u = 1 ⇒ u = 
Convert u back into terms of a, that is
a² = 1 ⇒ a = ± 1
a² =
⇒ a = ± 
Solutions are a = ± 1 , a = ± 
The answer is 1/6
