IT IS TWELVE............ 12
Answer:
Each pitcher has the same fraction of the other drink.
Step-by-step explanation:
After 1 cup of tea is added to x cups of lemonade, the mix has the ratio 1:x of tea to lemonade. So, the fraction of mix that is tea is 1/(x+1).
The 1 cup of mix contains 1/(x+1) cups of tea and so x/(x+1) cups of lemonade. When that amount of lemonade is added to the tea, it brings the proportion of lemonade in the tea to (x/(x+1))/x = 1/(x+1), the same proportion as that of tea in the lemonade.

You can consider the degenerate case of one cup of drink in each pitcher. Then when the 1 cup of tea is removed from its pitcher and added to the lemonade, you have a 50-50 mix of tea and lemonade. Removing 1 cup of that mix and putting it back in the tea pitcher makes there be a 50-50 mix in both pitchers.
Increasing the quantity in each pitcher does nothing to change the fact that the mixes end up in the same ratio:
tea:lemonade in Pitcher 1 = lemonade:tea in Pitcher 2
The discriminant of a polynomial is given by:
b ^ 2-4ac
Substituting the values we have:
(-24) ^ 2-4 * (3) * (12) = 432
Since the discriminator is greater than zero, then the roots are real.
x = (- b +/- root (b ^ 2-4ac)) / (2a)
Substituting the values:
x = (- (- 24) +/- root (432) / (2 * (3))
x = (- (- 24) +/- root (432) / (2 * (3))
x = (- (- 24) +/- root (144 * 3) / (2 * (3))
x = (24 +/- 12raiz (3) / (6)
x = 4 +/- 2raiz (3)
The roots are:
x1 = 4 + 2raiz (3)
x2 = 4 - 2raiz (3)
Answer:
432
the roots are real.
x1 = 4 + 2raiz (3)
x2 = 4 - 2raiz (3)
