The fewest number of expressions is 3.
With the facts you got here, you can make the following equation:
x*(x+2)=24
x^2+2x=24
x^2+2x-24=0
Then you can use the following formula (which you might have seen before):
x = (-b +/- sqrt(b^2-4ac))/2a
where
ax^2+bx+c=0
(-2 +/- sqrt(4+96))/2
(-2 +/- 10)/2
x_1 = 4
x_2 = -6
A=[p/4 ] the parenthesis is a ratio.
Answer:
n = 2
Step-by-step explanation:
1.2n - 1.5 = 0.45n
collect like terms
1.2n - 0.45n = 1.5
0.75n = 1.5
divide both side by 0.75
0.75n/0.75 = 1.5/0.75
n =2
