I'm sure there's an easier way of solving it than the way I did, but I'm not sure what it could be. Never dealt with a problem like this before.
Anyway, I just plugged in and tested. Chose random values for a, b, c, and d, which follow the rule 0 < a < b < c < d:
a = 1
b = 2
c = 3
d = 4


Simplify into standard form:



Use the quadratic formula to solve:

For functions in the form of

. So in this case:
a = 1
b = -4
c = 2
Plug them in:

Solve for 'x':




So the answer would be A.

Answer:
Jana had 8 oranges, and Jordan had 15 oranges.
Step-by-step explanation:
First, identify what you know:
1) In total, Jana and Jordan had 23 oranges.
2) Jana had 7 less oranges than Jordan.
We can create a formula, where x equals the number of oranges Jana has.
23 = x + (x + 7)
16 = x + x (subtracted 7 from both sides)
x = 8 (divided both sides by 2)
So, now we know Jana had 8 oranges, which is 7 less than Jordan.
8 + 7 = ?
? = 15
Jana had 8 oranges, while Jordan had 15, for a total of 23 oranges.
You must find the relative rates of both workers...
T=f/3 and J=f/2 so if they work together to clear the field then:
ft/3+ft/2=f make all terms have a common denominator of 6
(2/2)(ft/3)+(3/3)(ft/2)=(6/6)f
2ft/6+3ft/6=6f/6 multiply both sides by 6
2ft+3ft=6f divide both sides by f
2t+3t=6 combine like terms on left side
5t=6 divide both sides by 5
t=6/5 hr
t=1 1/5 hr
t=1 hr 12 min
