Answer:

x=11

Step-by-step explanation:

M is the midpoint this means that we can set AM and BM equal to eachother, once this is done we can solve for x

9x-6=6x+27 (set equal to eachother)

9x=6x+33 (add 6)

3x=33 (subtract 6x)

x=11 (divide by 3)

Step-by-step explanation:

$\mathrm{For\:a\:quadratic\:equation\:of\:the\:form\:}ax^2+bx+c=0\mathrm{\:the\:solutions\:are\:}\\x_{1,\:2}=\frac{-b\pm \sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a}\\\mathrm{For\:}\quad a=5,\:b=20,\:c=-7:\quad x_{1,\:2}=\frac{-20\pm \sqrt{20^2-4\cdot \:5\left(-7\right)}}{2\cdot \:5}\\x=\frac{-20+\sqrt{20^2-4\cdot \:5\left(-7\right)}}{2\cdot \:5}:\quad \frac{-10+3\sqrt{15}}{5}\\x=\frac{-20-\sqrt{20^2-4\cdot \:5\left(-7\right)}}{2\cdot \:5}:\quad -\frac{10+3\sqrt{15}}{5}\\$

$\mathrm{The\:solutions\:to\:the\:quadratic\:equation\:are:}\\x=\frac{-10+3\sqrt{15}}{5},\:x=-\frac{10+3\sqrt{15}}{5}$

84. Each large salad needs 10 cherry tomatoes. So 6x10=60. Each small salad needs 6 cherry tomatoes. So 4x6=24. 60+24=84. Jorge needs 84 cherry tomatoes to make the salads.
