Answer:
f(x) = 4x² - 40x + 84
Step-by-step explanation:
4(x - 7)(x - 3) = 0
4(x² - 3x - 7x + 21) = 0
4(x² - 10x + 21) = 0
4x² - 40x + 84 = 0
The problem statement tells you "7 friends were playing basketball".
_____
It appears 5 friends were only playing basketball, 2 friends were playing basketball and having snacks, and 3 friends were only having snacks. Apparently, 10 friends were doing neither of those activities.
Multiplying both sides by 3, we get (3/9)*(2m-16)=(2m+4). Next, we multiply both sides by 9 and expand to get 6x-48=18m+36. Subtracting 6x and 36 from both sides, we get 12x=-48-36=-84. After that, we divide both sides by 12 to get m=-7
