<span>x^2 + 8x = -3
</span><span>x^2 + 8x + 16 = -3 + 16
using a^2 + 2 a b + b^2 = (a+b)^2
</span><span>
</span>x^2 + 8x + 16 = 13
<span>(x +4)^2 = 13
answer : 16 is the number </span><span>you must add to complete the square</span>
Q = -60 and P ≠ 32 will result in an equation with no solutions. (Both conditions must be met.)
_____
For Q = -60 and P = 32, there will be an infinite number of solutions. For any other values of Q and P, the solution is
.. x = (32 -P)/(Q +60)
It would be at least 70 yph I am probably sure
If you triple the ginger, to be able to keep proportion, you would need triple the nutmeg as well.
