Answer:

i got 70

Step-by-step explanation:

Brain   4           Brain gets 42 more sweets Sara

Pip      5           How many sweets does Pip get?

Sara    1

when   b = s + 42            find p        b = 4s    p = 5s

           4s = s + 42                           b/4 = s      p = 5b/4

           3s = 42

             s = 14           b = 56         p = 70      

     

I initially found the answer by trail and error, then I could figure out the equation.  

s     b      p

1     4      5

10   40   50

16   64   90

14   56   70

Abby used the quadratic formula to find the zeros of the
MArishka [77]

Step 2: She did not simplify under the square root correctly

under the square root:

(-6)^2 =36

and -4(5)(-8) =160

therefore under the square root it needs to be square root of 36+160 which is square root of 196.

That answer is 14 when square rooted
