I'm not sure how you obtained -5 as your answer but this is the mathematical explanation. hope this helps!
{x}^{2}  + 3x = 40 \\  {x}^{2}  + 3x - 40 = 0 \\(x + 8)(x - 5) = 0 \\ x =  - 8 \\ x = 5

Hello from MrBillDoesMath!

Answer:

Number marbles >= 5

Discussion:

The only certain thing we can say is the jar contains at least 5 (green) marbles.  The table  shows probabilities, not certainties, and is no guarantee that any other marbles even exist  in the jar,

Thank you,

MrB

Answer:

  • $9
  • Option 4

Step-by-step explanation:

The equations need to match the problem statements. If we let C and S represent the costs of Cherry and Sweet potato pies, respectively, then the revenue from each sale can be expressed as an equation.

  1 cherry and 7 sweet potato for $114   ⇒   C +7S = 114

  14 sweet potato and 11 cherry for $309   ⇒   11C +14S = 309

Note that we have used C and S in the second equation in the same order as they appeared in the first equation, even though the problem statement has that order reversed. This facilitates solving the equations using elimination or Cramer's rule.

These equations match Option 4.

__

The cost of a cherry pie can be found by eliminating S from the equations. We can do that by subtracting twice the first equation from the second:

  (11C +14S) -2(C +7S) = (309) -2(114)

  9C = 81 . . . . . simplify

  C = 9 . . . . . . . divide by 9

The cost of each cherry pie is $9.
