4x² + 2x - 30 = 0
<span>
factor out the GCF:
</span>2(2x² + x - 15) = 0
<span>
factor the trinomial completely:
2x</span>² + x - 15 = 0
2x² + 6x - 5x - 15 = 0
2x(x + 3) - 5(x + 3) = 0
(2x - 5)(x + 3) = 0
<span>use the zero product property and set each factor equal to zero and solve:
2x - 5 = 0 or x + 3 = 0
2x = 5 x = -3
x = 2.5
</span><span>The roots of the function are x=-3, x=2.5</span>
Your answer should be -11.5
Well 40 times 6 is 240 which means that you don't have to round.
Answer: Ally would need 6 more quarts of water.
Explanation: Since 4 quarts equal 1 gallon, 4*4 = 16 + 2 = 18, Julia would have 18 quarts. Subtract 12 from 18 to get 6 quarts.
