setup a simple algebraic equation and solve.
5x = 7x-28
-5x -5x
0=2x-28
+28 +28
28=2x
Now divide both sides by 2 and you get that she is 14
Quadratic is in the form
ax^2+bx+c=0
so distribute and stuff and simplify
remember
a(b+c)=ab+ac
(x+2)^2+5(x+2)-6=0
remember order of opertaions
(x+2)(x+2)+5(x+2)-6=0
x^2+4x+4+5x+10-6=0
add like terms
x^2+9x+8=0
3 consecutive integers : x, x + 1, x + 2
x + (x + 1) + (x + 2) = 108...ur equation
3x + 3 = 108...ur equation that has been simplified some
I would probably distribute 15 with the parentheses 15x 9860 which is 147,900 then you would add 6997+147,900
Y= 154187
