They probably thought square rotting was dividing by 2. The correct answer is about 20
Answer:The roots are:

and
Explanation:First, we will need to expand the bracket on the left and then put teh equation i standard form which is:
ax² + bx + c = 0
This can be done as follows:
(x+5)² = 10
(x)² + 2(x)(5) + (5)² = 10
x² + 10x + 25 - 10 = 0
x² + 10x + 15 = 0
By comparison, we can find that:
a = 1
b = 10
c = 15
Now to get the roots, we would need to use the quadratic formula shown in the attached image.
By substitution, we would find that:
either x =

or x =

Hope this helps :)
Answer:
see below
Step-by-step explanation:
First line:
y = mx+b where m is the slope and b is the y intercept
y = 2x + 10
Second line
y = mx+b
y = 3x+0 since there are no barrels filled on this line when they flip the switch
Setting the two equations equal
2x+10 = 3x
Subtract 2x from each side
2x+10-2x= 3x-2x
10 = x
Each line will have filled 10 barrels when they numbers are equal.
35 * 2/5 = 70/5 = 14 lbs of jelly beans will be used
So there are 4 slots and 4 options for the first slot, 3 for the second slot, and so on. There is a total of 24 options. Since you want a specific order, it's 1/24. (the option you want/total options)
