Answer:
5 cartons of eggs were used.
Step-by-step explanation:
Since there are a total of 156 eggs used, and 96 were already used, you subtract 156 - 96 = 60. Since there 12 eggs in each carton, you divide 60 by 12 to get 5.
Steps to solve:
5x² = 15x
~Subtract 15x to both sides
5x² - 15x = 15x - 15x
~Simplify
5x² - 15x = 0
~Factor left side
5x(x - 3) = 0
~Factors equal 0
5x = 0 and x - 3 = 0
___________
~Simplify 5x = 0
5x/5 = 0/5
x = 0
~Simplify x - 3 = 0
x - 3 + 3 = 0 + 3
x = 3
___________
Thus, the correct answer is 0, 3.

Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Let n be the number of lbs of nuts.
Let r be the number of lbs of raisins.
9n + 3r = 60 * 5 = 300 .............(1)
n + r = 60
n = 60 - r ...............(2)
Plugging the expression for n in (2) into (1) we get:
9(60 - r) + 3r = 300
which expands to:
540 - 9r + 3r = 300 .............(3)
Simplifying and rearranging (3) we get:
-6r = -240
Therefore r, the weight of raisins = 40 lbs
and the weight of nuts is 60 - 40 = 20 lbs
