Answer:
1) 2=27
2) x= -11/2
3) no
Step-by-step explanation:
It is systematic because they are going every tenth person
Jones has 3/4 total fertilizer. He wants to use 1/8 each scoop to use all of the fertilizer.
We need to make these into proportions to understand the amount of each fraction easier. 1/8 = 0.125, and 3/4 = 0.750
To do this the quick way, divide 0.750 by 0.125
0.750/0.125 = 6.
He will have to use the measuring cup 6 times.
Hope this helps!
Quadratic equation is

WHEN

So, to make this true subtract 7 from each side.
The equation is now
7

- x - 7 = 0
Values for a, b, and c: a = 7, b = -1, c = -7
Plug these variables into the quadratic equation.
Square -1 to get 1 and multiply -4 x 7 x -7 to get 196.

Multiply 2 x -7 to get -14, the denominator, and add 1 to 196.
Since 197 is not a square number, and I don't know if you want to leave it in radical form or not, I will just because it's easier to understand.
Hope this helps!
