How to find the roots of a quadratic equation -10x^2 + 0x +250

Step-by-step explanation:

The first thing you want to do is to factor in any quadratic equation.

So, -10(x^2-25)

Now, we see this is a special case, whenever we see a equation in this case, x^2 - b^2, we factor it to this (x+b)(x-b)

So, -10(x+5)(x-5)

x = -5 and x = 5

mr. flanders’ class sold 47 doughnuts and   mr. rodriquez’s class sold 38 cartons of milk

step-by-step explanation:

let x be the number of doughnuts sold by mr. flanders’ class and y be the number of cartons sold by mr. rodriquez’s class.

1. together, the classes sold 85 items, then

x+y=85.

2. both classes earn earned $104.49 for their school. if doughnuts were sold for $1.35 each, then x doughnuts costed $1.35x. if cartons of milk were sold for $1.08 each, then y cartons costed $1.08y. hence,

1.35x+1.08y=104.49.

3. solve the system of two equations:
