1) Factor out the coefficient 2: 2x^2+12x=4 => 2(x^2 + 6x) = 4
2) Complete the square of x^2 + 6x: x^2 + 6x + 9 - 9. Then:
2(x^2 + 6x + 9 - 9) = 4
3) Rewrite the square as the square of a binomial:
2( [x+3]^2 - 9) = 4, or
2([x+3]^2) = 22, or
2( [x+3]^2 ) - 22 = 0
The value of q is -22.

Total tickets sold = 159
Total sales = $1100.60
Child admission = $5.20
Adult admission = $8.90
Assumed all 159 tickets are Child admission tickets
Total sales = 159 x 5.2 = $826.80
Difference in amount = $1100.60 - $826.80 = $273.80
The difference must be contributed by the Adult Admission Tickets, which has a difference of $8.90 - $5.20 = $3.70
$273.80 ÷ $3.70 = 74 adult tickets
159 - 74 = 85 child tickets
