This equation correctly represents the total cost of the food that the friends ended up paying for the popcorn and sodas. In this expression, the cost of each individual soda is represented by the variable x which is multiplied by 4 since each one of the four friend's purchased their own soda. After making this multiplication process that product is added to the initial $12 that they all spent together on the popcorn.

Hello,

x² + 5x + 6 = 0

a = 1 ; b = 5 ; c = 6

∆ = b² - 4ac = 5² - 4 × 1 × 6 = 25 - 24 = 1 > 0

2 solutions :

$x_{1} = \frac{ - b - \sqrt{\Delta} }{2a} = \frac{ - 5 - 1}{2 \times 1} = \frac{ - 6}{2} = - 3$

$x_{2} = \frac{ - b + \sqrt{\Delta} }{2a} = \frac{ - 5 + 1}{2 \times 1} = \frac{ - 4}{2} = - 2$

S = { -3 ; -2}
