x² - 4x = 12
x² - 4x - 12 = 0
x² + (2x - 6x) - 12 = 0
x² + 2x - 6x - 12 = 0
x (x + 2) - 6 (x + 2) = 0
(x - 6) (x + 2) = 0
Then the solutions are x = 6 or x = -2.
The constant is his speed (20 mph)
and equation would be d = 20t,
where
d - distance
t - time
As the question says when there's no overtime, you only care about normal working hours.
E= 16x

Answer: 6</h3>
Work Shown:
He eats ten 12-calorie crackers, so that is 10*12 = 120 calories total
If x is the number of 20-calorie cookies, then the total number of calories here is 20x. We want this to be 120, so,
20x = 120
x = 120/20 .... divide both sides by 20
x = 6
He must eat six 20-calorie cookies to get 120 calories total
