Common core assessment
a park ranger in everglades national park
counted the number of alligator eggs in
28 nests. on average, there were 40 eggs
in each nest. about how many alligator
eggs did the ranger count?
@ about 80 eggs
® about 120 eggs
© about 800 eggs
© about 1,200 eggs

(0.2)+(-8)=0.3+-3+0.3m is the equation i guess? ?

compare the two slopes in the decimal form. if the slopes are equal, then the lines are parallel. if the slopes are not equal, then the lines are not parallel.

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
