1/2 was broccoli and 1/2 was mushroom...
he ate 2/3 of the broccoli part......2/3 of 1/2 = 2/3 * 1/2 = 2/6 = 1/3
he ate 1/4 of the mushroom part....1/4 of 1/2 = 1/4 * 1/2 = 1/8
so he ate 1/3 + 1/8 = 8/24 + 3/24 = 11/24 <==
Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:
In a quadratic equation in the Standard form

You need to remember that "a", "b" and "c" are the numerical coefficients (Where "a" is the leading coefficient and it cannot be zero:
).
You can observe that the given quadratic equation is written in the Standard form mentioned before. This is:

Therefore, you can identify that the values of "a", "b" and "c" are the following:

X=14
How to:
Square both sides then solve the equation
