Most quadratic functions(which is what you have there, to a degree of 2) are solved using factoring and the zero product law. If you can not factor then you have to use the quadratic formula or graph it. However this one can be factored.
It's pretty simple to just factor it by inspection but I use the chart method, if you know decomposition that works as well.
Factoring gives us,

Then you set each factor to 0 and solve for x,



And the second one,


The solutions to this equation are
x = -1/2, 3
Answer:
8 red haired and 42 brown haired
Step-by-step explanation:
I chose a random number to start off with (which is 8) and I multiplied it by 5.
8•5=40 and then you have to add 2, so you get 42.
42+8 = 50
The equation would be (5x+2)+x where 'x' is the number of people with red hair.
Answer:
64
Step-by-step explanation:
First, you divide 416 by 65. This gets you 6.4. But it's not 1 in 65 eating pizza, it's 10 out of 65, so then you multiply 6.4 by 10, getting 64.
