The population was 5,000 five hours ago!!
You first multiply 6 and 8 to see how many people are put in the vans without rented a van. This would equal 48. You then subtract 48 from 59 to see how many people still need to be in a van. This would leave you with 11 people. Then you divide 8 from 11 to get 1 3/8. This means you need 2 vans to fit everyone.
Ok, so the quadratic coefient is 1, so great
take 1/2 of the linear coefient and square it
10/2=5, (5)^2=25
add that to both sides
x^2+10x+25=7+25
factor perfect square trionomial
(x+5)^2=32
squaer root both sides
x+5=+/-4√2
minus 5
x=-5+/-4√2
x=-5+4√2 and -5-4√2
The number you are looking for is 995
It would be Adjacent/hypotenus which is 36/39 and when simplified the answer is 12/13
