I'm sure there's an easier way of solving it than the way I did, but I'm not sure what it could be. Never dealt with a problem like this before.
Anyway, I just plugged in and tested. Chose random values for a, b, c, and d, which follow the rule 0 < a < b < c < d:
a = 1
b = 2
c = 3
d = 4


Simplify into standard form:



Use the quadratic formula to solve:

For functions in the form of

. So in this case:
a = 1
b = -4
c = 2
Plug them in:

Solve for 'x':




So the answer would be A.

Answer:
2 hrs 13 mins
Step-by-step explanation:
If Richard can paint the living room in 4 hrs, then in 1 hour he can paint 1/4 of the living .
If Vanessa can paint the living room in 5 hours, then in one hour, she can paint 1/5 of the living room.
In one hour Richard and Vanessa can paint 1/4 + 1/5 = 1/y
y is the number of hours it will take both Richard and Vanessa to paint the living room. 1/y is how much of the house they can paint in one hour.
1/4 + 1/5 = 1/y
(5 + 4)/20. ( find the LCM)
9/20 = 1/y
9y= 20
y = 20/9
y = 2.22hrs
y = 2 hrs 13 mins
Step-by-step explanation:
coefficient=w
variable=w
result=
32=w-4
w=4+32
w=36
constant=32,4
