Answer:
a
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer: x = 7 or x = -8
x² + x - 56 = 0
⇔ x² + 8x - 7x - 56 = 0
⇔ x(x + 8) - 7(x + 8) = 0
⇔ (x - 7)(x + 8) = 0
⇔ x - 7 = 0
or x + 8 = 0
⇔ x = 7 or x = -8
Step-by-step explanation:
Adults = 9
Children = 2
Let x be the number of adults.
11-x is the number of children.
22x + 15(11-x) = 228
22x + 165 - 15x = 228
22x - 15x = 228 - 165
7x = 63
7x / 7 = 63 / 7
x = 9 number of adults.
11 - x = 11 - 9 = 2 number of children.
To check:
22x + 15(11-x) = 228
22(9) + 15(11-9) = 228
198 + 30 = 228
228 = 228
(not my answer btw)
Answer: 3 quarts
using the information 1 cup = 0.25 quarts, we can use dimensional analysis or a conversion factor to find the number of quarts in 12 cups.
start by expressing x as your unknown value being the number of quarts
there are 3 quarts in 12 cups
