Answer:
- 1656 acres left
- 644 acres sold
- $32,200,000
Step-by-step explanation:
1. The number of acres sold is ...
28% × 2300 = 0.28 × 2300 = 644
Then the number of acres Emmet has left will be ...
2300 -644 = 1656 . . . acres left
__
2. Emmet sold 644 acres.
__
3. At $50,000 per acre, the value of the land sold was ...
$50,000 × 644 = $32,200,000 . . . . paid by the developer

Answer:
x = 5 and x = -19
Step-by-step explanation:
You're on the right track. It's the "discriminant" that tells you what you want to know here. Before starting, arrange the terms of your quadratic in descending orders of x: 5x^2 + 14x - 19 = 0 (Note that I assumed you meant 14x instead of just 14).
Then the coefficients of this quadratic are a = 5, b = 14 and c = -19.
You are referring to the "quadratic formula." It states this:
-b ± √(b²-4ac)
x = -----------------------
2a
So, we insert the a, b and c values as indicated above:
-14 ± √( 14² - 4[5][-19] ) -14 ± √(196 - 4[5][-19] ) -14 ± √576
x = ----------------------------------- = ---------------------------------- = ----------------------
2(10) 20 20
This comes out to:
x = (-14 + 24) / 2 and x = (-14 - 24) / 2
or:
x = 5 and x = -19
