If is an integer (a whole number), then the expression represents an even number, because even numbers are the multiples of 2. The expressions 2 n − 1 and 2 n + 1 can represent odd numbers, as an odd number is one less, or one more than an even number.

The formula for surface area is 2(lw + wh + hl) = 2(2*8 + 12*8 + 12*2) = 2(16+56+24) = 2(96) = 192
The lowest common denominator for 8 and 12 is 24. So you would need 3 packages of hotdogs and 2 packages of buns.
So discriminant is being counted from that equation:
b^2-4ac = 36-36 = 0
As discriminant is 0, then there is just 1 root -> -b/2a = 6/2 = 3.
The answer is A cause the X represents the number of apples used in 1 cake and the 3 represents how much more apples it takes for the pie than the cake .
