Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
To write the factored form, multiply a*c from the standard form 
. Here it is 4*1 = 4.
Then find factors of 4 that add to b=-4.
4: 1,2,4
-2+-2 = -4
Split the middle term into -2x+-2x and factor by grouping.
<span>Solve for "x":
a/x = x/4a
---
x^2 = 4a^2
x = 2a</span>
IM TRYING TO ANSWER BUT IT WONT LET ME OMH ITS C
Let the number of orders Eric served be x
Eric = x
Mai = x+ 8 [Mai served 8 more than Eric]
Dean = 3x [Dean served 3 times as many as Eric]
Given that the total is 103
x + x + 8 + 3x = 103
5x + 8 = 103
5x = 103 - 8
5x = 95
x = 19
x = 19
x + 8 = 19 + 8 = 27
3x = 19 x 3 = 57
Eric served 19
Mai served 27
Dean served 57
