I don't really know how the table works, but there are two cups in a pint, so 5 pints * 0.5 pints would be 2.5 pints, and 2.5 pints divided by 2 pints would be 1.25 pints?
Answer:
x = (4 + 2√34)/10, x = (4 - 2√34)/10
Step-by-step explanation:
5x² - 4x = 6
Subtract: 5x² - 4x - 6 = 0
Quadratic formula: x = (4 ± √(16 - 4*5*(-6)))/10
Multiply: x = (4 ± √(16 + 120))/10
Simplify: x = (4 ± 2√34)/10
Answer:
d=1
Step-by-step explanation:

Lets factor the denominator d^2 -2d-8
d^2 - 2d - 8 = (d-4)(d+2)

Now make the denominators same
LCD: (d-4)(d+2)

Denominators are same on both sides
So equate the numerators
-3d +3(d+2) = -2(d-4)
-3d +3d +6 = -2d +8
6 = -2d + 8
subtract 8 on both sides
-2 = -2d
So d=1
