Answer:

B) x = 3 or x = -5/2

Step-by-step explanation:

Solve for x over the real numbers:

2 x^2 - x = 15

Subtract 15 from both sides:

2 x^2 - x - 15 = 0

x = (1 ± sqrt((-1)^2 - 4×2 (-15)))/(2×2) = (1 ± sqrt(1 + 120))/4 = (1 ± sqrt(121))/4:

x = (1 + sqrt(121))/4 or x = (1 - sqrt(121))/4

sqrt(121) = sqrt(11^2) = 11:

x = (1 + 11)/4 or x = (1 - 11)/4

(1 + 11)/4 = 12/4 = 3:

x = 3 or x = (1 - 11)/4

(1 - 11)/4 = -10/4 = -5/2:

Answer:  x = 3 or x = -5/2

notsponge [240]

Answer:

2 batches of orange water = 6 tablespoon of yellow water and 2 tablespoon of red water

4 batches of orange water = 12 tablespoon of yellow water and 4 tablespoon of red water

Step-by-step explanation:

1 batch

Yellow water = 3 teaspoons

Red water = 1 teaspoons

Yellow water : Red water = 3 : 1

2 batches of orange water

Multiply the ratios by 2

Yellow water : Red water

= (3 : 1) * 2

= 6 : 2

2 batches of orange water = 6 tablespoon of yellow water and 2 tablespoon of red water

4 batches of orange water

Multiply the ratios by 4

Yellow water : Red water

= (3 : 1) * 4

= 12 : 4

4 batches of orange water = 12 tablespoon of yellow water and 4 tablespoon of red water
