Answer:

Each ice cream seller wants the maximum number of customers:

True

The two ice cream stands will most likely be 1/3 mile away from each other.

True

Step-by-step explanation:

This distance enables the two ice cream stands to give access to the maximum number of customers at the beach, which will be almost equal at their right-hand and left-hand sides.  Therefore, the two ice cream stands will most likely be 1/3 mile away from each other.  Such positioning exposes the ice cream stands to almost equal number of customers since the people standing along the beach are uniformly located.  Taking the extreme locations along the 1-mile-long beach will shrink location opportunities for both stands.

How can I solve this equation 5x^2-2x-6=-2x^2+9x
wel
Add 2x^2 to both sides
7x^2-2x-6=9x

Subtract 9x from both sides
7x^2-11x-6=0

Factor by using slip and slide
x^2-11x-42
(x-14)(x+3)
(x-14/7)(x+3/7)
(x-2)(7x+3)

Then use the Zero Product Property to find roots
x-2=0
x=2

7x+3=0
7x=-3
x=-3/7

Final answer: x=-3/7, x=2
