<em><u>Complete Question:</u></em>
A colony of flowers is pollinated by hummingbirds and sunbirds. Let H represents the number of hummingbirds and S represent the number of sunbirds that must pollinate the colony so it can survive until next year.
6H+ 4S> 74
This year, 8 hummingbirds pollinated the colony. What is the least number of sun birds that must pollinate the colony to ensure that it will survive until next year?
<em><u>Answer:</u></em>
The least number of sun birds is 7
<em><u>Solution:</u></em>
Given inequality is:
6H + 4S > 74
Where,
H is the number of hummingbirds
S is the number of sunbirds
This year, 8 hummingbirds pollinated the colony
Substitute H = 8 in given inequality
6(8) + 4S > 74
48 + 4S > 74
Subtract 48 from both sides
48 + 4S - 48 > 74 - 48
4S > 26
Divide both sides by 4
S > 6.5
Hence the least number of sun birds is 7

Answer: B.792
Step-by-step explanation:
= > x² + 7x + 12 = 12
= > x² + ( 4 + 3 )x + 12 = 12
= > x² + 4x + 3x + 12 = 12
= > x( x + 4 ) + 3( x + 4 ) = 12
= > ( x + 4 ) ( x + 3 ) = 12
Percy did correct till this step. But by doing like this, Percy can't get the values of the variable x.
Percy should follow the following steps :
= > x² + 7x + 12 = 12
Add -12 on both sides,
= > x² + 7x + 12 - 12 = 12 - 12
= > x² + 7x = 0
= > x( x + 7 ) = 0
= > ( x = 0 ) or ( x + 7 = 0 )
= > ( x = 0 ) or ( x = - 7 )
Hence, required value(s) of x is 0 or -7
X=16
Y=-6
im not good at factorization but this is what i got
