Answer:
X² - 14x + 48= 0
Step-by-step explanation:
To find the quadratic equation well have to look for the root of the equation.
So the roots are at x= 6 and x= 8
The quadratic curve didn't pass the origin .
It intercepted the x axis at 6 and 8 and that's the roots.
So our equation is
(X-6)(x-8)= x²-8x -6x +48
X² - 14x + 48= 0
Use elimination
Multiply first equation by 4
12a - 8b = 56
12a + 9b = 39
Subtract both
-17b = 17
b = -1
Plug in -1 for b
3a - 2(-1) = 14
3a = 12, a = 4
Final answer: a = 4, b = -1
Well you have to convert the pounds to ounces
1 pound = 16 ounces
2oz+40oz+4oz
46oz
The answer would be 39.78
$45+$18+$26-$21-$93
45+18=63
63+18=81
81+26=107
107-21=86
86-93=-7
