Answer:
2
Step-by-step explanation:
let 'x' = number
x³ - x² = 2x
x³- x² - 2x = 0
x(x² - x - 2) = 0
x(x - 2)(x + 1) = 0
x = -1, 0, 2
the only positive solution is the number 2
Answer:
2 raisins.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x represent total number of required ingredient.
We have been given that Ren finds 6 peanuts, 4 raisins, 3 cranberries, and 5 chocolate chips in a handful of trail mix. We are asked to find of which ingredient Ren will have 2 pieces for a total of 9 pieces.
First of all, we will find total number of ingredients by adding each ingredient as:


Now, we will use ratio to solve for our given problem as:





Since there are 4 raisins, therefore, for every 9 pieces in Ren's handful of trail mix there are 2 raisins.
Subtract 24 from both sides (-45t=-8) then divide both sides by -45 (t=0.177)
The way it is written, none of them.

The "a"s cancel out.
