I got 78.66, is there an answer choice like that?
No that would be cheating
Step-by-step explanation:
6 (x+5 )^2 +5(x+5)-4=0
let x+5= y
6y^2 + 5y - 4=0
6y^2 + 8y - 3y-4 =0
2y (3y+4) - 1 (3y+4)=0
(2y-1)(3y+4)=0
2y-1=0 or 3y+4=0
y=1/3 or -4/3
Recall that x+5=y
When y=1/3
x+5=1/3
x= -14/3
when y= -4/3
x+5=-4/3
x = -11/3
Since she had $35.48 on her card.
Amount spent in buying coffee = $70 - $35.48 = $34.52
Cost of coffee = $8.63 per pound
No of pounds = Amount spent / cost per pound
= 34.52 / 8.63 Use your calculator.
= 4
