Malia split up the large container of salsa that she bought equally into 5 bowls to place around her house for the party. If each bowl contained 8.5 ounces of the salsa, which shows the correct equation and value of x, the total amount of salsa in the original container? StartFraction x over 5 EndFraction = 8.5; x = 1.7 ounces
StartFraction x over 5 EndFraction = 8.5; x = 42.5 ounces
5 x = 8.5; x = 1.7 ounces
5 x = 8.5; x = 42.5 ounces

0.84 dang lotta people are looking for this lol or if you round up its 1 but the overall answer to that is 0.84

step-by-step explanation:

maybe i can

let's call the solutions x₁ = (5 - 2√7)/3 and x₂ = (5 + 2√7)/3

then the equation is (x-x₁)(x-x₂) = 0

if you fill that in you get a lot of numbers which you can recognize as ax²+bx+c=0.

step-by-step explanation:

you can see that a=1 (there is just an x²)

b = (-5 -2√7 + 2√7 - 5)/3 = -10/3

c = -2√7)/3 ) * (-5+2√7)/3) = -1/3

so your answer is 3x^2 – 10x – 1 = 0
