Group x terms
(2x^2+8x)-12=0
undistribute 2
2(x^2+4x)-12=0
take 1/2 of 4 and square it, add negative and positive of it insde (2^2=4)
2(x^2+4x+4-4)-12=0
factor perfect square
2((x+2)^2-4)-12=0
distribute
2(x+2)^2-8-12=0
2(x+2)^2-20=0
add 20 to both sides
2(x+2)^2=20
divide both sides by 2
(x+2)^2=10
sqrt both sides, remember to take positive and negative root
x+2=+/-√10
minus 2 both sides


x=-2+√10 and -2-√10

navik [9.2K]
So we know that the Bruno's BAkery uses 4/9 barrels and that Cosmo's Bakery uses 6/5 as much. So we have to multiply 4/9 * 6/5 which is equal to 0.53 for one day.
Since they are asking for the 3/7 of the week we multiply 3/7 *0.53.
This is equal to 0.23 or 23/100

choli [55]

Answer:

The reason why this may be happening is because the expenses may be higher than the amount of revenue that the business is making, the cost of rent, paying the employees and running the business may be higher than the revenue that is being made. The inflows may be higher than the outflows, in which case the profit is lower than the loss and may be the reason why the owner is having trouble keeping the business running.
