Call the number of trumpet players "T" and the number of horn players "H".
We can use the given information to set up equations:
1."<span>the number of trumpet players is 4 times the number of French horn players"

2. "</span><span>There are 35 trumpet and French horn players in the band."

If you were asked to solve you could now do it by substitution:

Answer:
x1, x2 = 4.74 , -2.74
Step-by-step explanation:
To find the roots of a quadratic function we have to use the bhaskara formula
ax^2 + bx + c
x^2 - 2x - 13
a = 1 b = -2 c = -13
x1 = (-b + √ b^2 - 4ac)/2a
x2 =(-b - √ b^2 - 4ac)/2a
x1 = (2 + √ (2^2 - 4 * 1 * (-13)))/2 * 1
x1 = (2 + √ (4 + 52)) / 2
x1 = (2 + √ 56 ) / 2
x1 = (2 + 7.48) / 2
x1 = 9.48 / 2
x1 = 4.74
x2 = (2 - √ (2^2 - 4 * 1 * (-13)))/2 * 1
x2 = (2 - √ (4 + 52)) / 2
x2 = (2 - √ 56 ) / 2
x2 = (2 - 7.48) / 2
x2 = -5.48 / 2
x2 = -2.74
