Answer:
2-sqrt14/2, 2+sqrt13/2.
Step-by-step explanation:
What you do is you have to do the quadratic equation like it says in the problem.
x= −b± sqrtb^2 −4ac
/2a
.
a=-2, b=4, c=5.
x=-4±sqrt(4)^2-4(-2)(5)/2(-2).
x=-4±sqrt16+40/-4.
x=-4±2sqrt14/-2.
2-sqrt14/2, 2+sqrt13/2. is your answer once you have done everything.

Answer:
33.3%
Step-by-step explanation:
The selling price of £42 is (1 +40%) times the total purchase price.
1.40 × purchase price = £42
purchase price = £42/1.40 = £30
The total profit is 40% of this, so is ...
£30 × 40% = £12
The purchase price of the skirt is ...
total cost - glove cost = skirt cost = £30 -3 = £27
The profit on the skirt is ...
total profit - glove profit = skirt profit = £12 -100% × £3 = £9
Then the percentage profit on the skirt is ...
skirt profit % = skirt profit / skirt cost × 100% = £9/£27 × 100% = 33.3%
The percentage profit on the cost of the skirt was 33.3%.
"Sum" tells us it's an addition problem:
One term is 12 and the other is 9/x
SO
The expression is:
12+9/x
