Answer:
200
Step-by-step explanation:
Move everybody to one side
minus 5x+2 both sides
x^2-5x-2=0
use quadratic formula where
if you have
ax^2+bx+c=0
x=

1x^2-5x-2=0
a=1
b=-5
c=-2
x=

x=

x=

aprox
x=5.372281323 or -0.3722813233
If you would like to know how many cups of flour are needed to make 6 servings, you can calculate this using the following steps:
3 cups of flour ... 8 servings
x cups of flour = ? ... 6 servings
3 * 6 = 8 * x
18 = 8 * x /8
x = 18/8
x = 9/4
x = 2 1/4 cups of flour
The correct result would be 2 1/4 cups of flour.
