Answer:
Ralphie's dad can eat 8 fruit bars without going over his calorie allotment.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given,
Per day calorie intake limit = less than 2126 calories
Calories are already taken = 1586 calories
Calories in each fruit bar = 66 calories
Let,
x be the number of fruit bars that Ralphie's dad can consume.
Calories in each fruit bar*Number of fruit bars + calories already taken < per day limit
Dividing both sides by 66
Answer:
12/16 = 3/4
I divided both sides by 4.
Hope this helps!

To find the perfect square needed, you take the "middle" value and half it, then square it. so in this case, take -6, half it into 3, and square it to get 9. you'll be adding 9 to both sides
Your answer would be x^2 - 3x + 15
