There is more than one solution because there are two different numbers whose square is 9. One of them is +3. The other is -3.
The fundamental theorem of algebra says every non-zero single-variable polynomial of degree N has exactly N roots, counting multiplicity. Your polynomial is degree 2, so has 2 roots.
Answer:
34 because 50 percent of 68 is 34
The first thing to note is since one gallon= 60 miles then 1/2 gallon= 30 miles, now I know 1/2 is not an answer but it is easiest to decrease in moderate amounts. 1/2 gallon= 48 Km so we are close, and 1/2=0.5 so if we brought it down to 0.42 we would have 25.2 miles and 25.2 miles = 40.32. The question wants to know the approximate number and 40.32 is the closest we are going to get so the answer is 0.42
-49/15 -3 4/15...........
