Answer:
x = 2
Step-by-step explanation:
Since we know one root is -3, we know one factor of the equation is (x+3)
From there we can use the factor we know to factor the rest of the equation:
x^2 + x - 6 = (x+3) * ?
Since know -6 is just 3 * -2 and since 3-2 is 1,
(x+3)(x-2) = x^2 + x - 6
From there,
x - 2 = 0
x = 2
Answer:
5 carnations in each arrangement
Total of 60 carnations used
Step-by-step explanation:
First calculate how many flowers are in each arrangement by dividing the total number of flowers by the number of arrangements:
96 ÷ 12 = 8
Given each arrangement has 3 roses, subtract 3 from 8 to find the number of carnations in each arrangement:
8 - 3 = 5
Therefore, there are 5 carnations in each arrangement
Total number of carnations used = 5 x 12 = 60
