The answer is either 
or 
To solve: Let's solve your equation step-by-step.
5x2+5x−x2−x=2004
Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation.
4x2+4x=2004
Step 2: Subtract 2004 from both sides.
4x2+4x−2004=2004−2004
4x2+4x−2004=0
Step 3: Use quadratic formula with a=4, b=4, c=-2004.

Answer:
<em>Assuming person A and person B are part of the 7 people</em>, there are 10 ways the 7 people can line up if A needs to be first or last and B needs to be in the middle.
Step-by-step explanation:
There are 2 places for A (first, last) and 5 places for B (anywhere but first or last). 2 x 5 = 10.
Answer: Part A = (100% - 80%)P = 35, Part B = 140
<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>
Percentage: Like + Don't like = 100%
80% + Don't like = 100%
<u> -80% </u> <u> -80% </u>
Don't like = 20%
People: 20% of Patrons = Don't Like
0.20 x Patrons = 35
<u>÷ 0.20 </u> <u> ÷ 0.20 </u>
Patrons = 175
<u>Now, let's write the equation we used to get that answer</u>:
Let P represent the total number of patrons, then the equation is:
(100% - 80%)P = 35
= (1.00 - 0.80)P = 35
= 0.20P = 35
= P = 175
<u>Part B: </u>
80% of Patrons = Like
0.80 x 175 = Like
140 = Like
80 * 70 percent = cookies sold
80 * .7 = cookies sold
56 = cookies sold
