Answer:
no solution
Step-by-step explanation:
The discriminant is ...
b^2 -4ac = (-4)^2 -4(2)(16) = 16 -128 = -112
A negative discriminant means there are no real solutions to the equation.
_____
The complex solutions are 1±i√7.
If we assume the equation has a typographical error and is intended to be ...
2x^2 -4x -16 = 0
The solutions are x = -2 and x = 4.
Divide the number of people by the number of plates per pack:
138 / 12 = 11.5
He need to buy 12 packs of plates to have enough.
The answer is the point of intersection, (2,1)
