Since there is a 2 at the start, we actually multiply -5 by 2, meaning that it needs to multiply to (-5*2)=-10 and add up to -3. Since -5 and 2 fit the bill, we get (x+5)(x-2)=0 (as -5+5 and 2-2=0)
The answer is 29.4 grams.
How to solve:
1. Convert $15 to quarters. You can do this by multiplying 15 by 4. You use 4 because 4 quarters equal to $1. This will equal to 60 quarters.
2. Multiply both 5.76 and 6.25 by 60 to find the weight of $15 in quarters for today and before 1965.
Today: 5.76 g x 60 = 345.6 grams
Before 1965: 6.25 g x 60 = 375 grams
3. Now that you have the weight of quarters for both time periods, subtract! 375 grams - 345.6 grams = 29.4 grams
