9514 1404 393
Explanation:
Both sides of the equation are squared.
I like this better without fractions, so would multiply by 16 at this point (or earlier).
x^2 -40x +144 = 0
(x -36)(x -4) = 0
x = 4 or 36 . . . . . . x = 4 is extraneous
The solution is x = 36.
Hi. This is a bit lengthy so I am attaching an image that shows it worked out step by step. I hope it helps.
Take care,

Answer:
The best way of writing this answer in an inequality pattern is 50 ≤ x ≥ 70
Step-by-step explanation:
The variable "x" is said to be greater than or equal to 50, that means that x could be 50, 51, 52, 53, 54......to infinity, all these values are true for x.
The second solution said x is greater or equal to 70. This also means that x could be 70, 71, 72, 73, ......... to infinity.
The inference that can be drawn from here is that x actually started from 50, so anything lesser than 50 is lesser than x, so 50 ≤ x. We can join the two answers together to get a range in a form like: 50 ≤ x ≥ 70
Mari bought 6 packages of tomato seeds and each package contains 24 seeds then
Seeds = (6) * (24) = 144.
Mari has a total of 144 seeds.
Mari planted a pack of seeds and has 15 germinated seeds.
144-24-15 = 105
Mari then has 105 seeds left.
Answer
C At least 100 but no more than 120 seeds will sprout
