Answer:
A.
Step-by-step explanation:
you have to find the discriminant
b²-4ac for each equation
if discriminant < 0 no real solutions because will be negative under the squareroot whhan you try to find the roots
if discriminant = 0 there is only one solution
if discriminant > 0 two real solutions
for your given problems
A. discriminant =(-2)²-4*2*15 will be negative
Where 1/4 represents Bob and 1/6 represents Ted...
1/4x + 1/6x = 1
Multiply the two so there is no fraction by the GCF of 12.
3x + 2x = 12
Add 3x and 2x.
5x = 12
Divide by 5.
x = 12
Plug this value in.
With that, the answer is 2 hours and 24 minutes with x = 12 meaning 144 minutes.
