Answer: The answer is the 3rd one - Positive, linear association
Step-by-step explanation:
Assuming I understand what you're saying, if there are 2 boxes in a crate and 18 bags in a box, the answer would be 12 * 36 = 432

times both sides by 2x
x(x+2)=2(4)
x²+2x=8
minus 8 both sides
x²+2x-8=0
factor
what 2 numbers multiply to -8 and add to 2
-2 and 4
(x-2)(x+4)=0
set to zero
x-2=0
x=2
x+4=0
x=-4
x=-4 and 2
