I would divide 14.5 by 1.25
That gives you 11.6. Round that up to 12 containers

Answer:

D) x= $\frac{-2+-2\sqrt{7} }{3}$

Step-by-step explanation:

The quadratic formula is : $\frac{-b+-\sqrt{b^2-4ac} }{2a}$

A in terms of this question=9

B in terms of the question is 12

C in terms of the question is -24.

This question is an example of a quadratic equation. To work this out you may first need a calculator. The first step is to substitute the values of a,b and c into the formula. So once substituted the formula of $\frac{-b+-\sqrt{b^2-4ac} }{2a}$ becomes $\frac{(-12)+-\sqrt{(12)^2-4*(9)*(-24)} }{2(9)}$ . Although when written in a calculator there will not be a plus and minus button and so you would have to do this separately.

However when substituting the values it would be best practice to put them in brackets.

1) Substitute the values into the equation for +.

$\frac{(-12)+\sqrt{(12)^2-4*(9)*(-24)} }{2(9)}=\frac{-2+2\sqrt{7} }{3} /1.097167541$

2) Substitute the values into the equation for -.

$\frac{(-12)-\sqrt{(12)^2-4*(9)*(-24)} }{2(9)}=\frac{-2+2\sqrt{7} }{3} /-2.430500874$

What is the value of the expression?

user100 [1]

3a= 3(5) = 15
15 - - 3 = 15+3 = 18
18/6 = 3
b + a = 5 + -3 = -3 + 5 = 2
3 x 2 = 6

If it takes 4 weeks to make $500 how long would it take to raise $5000

yKpoI14uk [10]

40 weeks because you divide 500 by 4 which is 125 then you guess and check to make 40 multiplied by 125 is 5,000
