How do you solve that?
Aleks [24]
Put it in the form 

ax^2 + bx + c = 0 

use the quadratic formula

x =  [ -b + sqrt( b^2 - 4 ac )  ] / 2a


x =  [ -b - sqrt( b^2 - 4 ac )  ] / 2a

7v^2 - 7v - 22 = 0

a = 7 
b = -7
c = -22

v = [  7 + sqrt ( 49 - 4 * 7 ( -22) ] / 2 * 7  = 2.34

v = [  7 - sqrt ( 49 - 4 * 7 ( -22) ] / 2 * 7  = -1.34

James and Bethany Morrison are celebrating their 10th anniversary by having a reception at a local reception hall. They have bud
ddd [48]

Answer: See Below

Step-by-step explanation:

Create the equation:

$34 times the number of people plus the $50 cleaning fee has to be less than or equal to $3500

Or

34p + 50 <= 3500

34p <= 3450

p <= 101.470588....

We can have a part of a person attending the reception so we have to drop the remainder/decimal. Therefore the most amount of people that can attend the party and stay within budget is 101.

Verdich [7]
4(6x+4)-5(3x-6) First you distribute 24x+16-15x+30 then you add like terms so 24x-15x is 9x. 16+30 is 46. So the answer is 9x+46
