Answer:
x=-3,x1/2
Step-by-step explanation:
f(x)=(2x-1)(x+3)
TI find x intercept/zero substitute
f(x)=0
0=(2x-1)x(x+3)
swap the sides of the equation
(2x-1)x(x+3)=0
when the product of factors equals 0,at least one factor is zero
2x-1=0
x+3=0
solve the equation for x
x=1/2
x+3=0
solve the equation of x
x=-3
The equation has two solution
x=-3
x=1/2
B thank me later :) give me hearts
x = # of ham sandwiches
14-x = # of turkey sandwiches ( as Lexi made 14 sandwiches)
as the question said that the number of ha sandwiches are 4 less than twice number of turkey sandwiches,
x = 2 * (14-x) - 4 = 24 - 2x
3x=24
x = 8
the number of ham sandwiches is 8, and the number of turkey sandwiches is 14-8=6
