I really need help!! (can you show step by step guide? (

Look below

Step-by-step explanation:

(i) Sharon is not correct because in the first bag, the proportion is of red counters to yellow counters.

In the second bag, the proportion is of red counters to all the counters in the bag. Therefore the proportions are not the same.

(ii) Let x be the total amount of counters (in each bag)...

Then the amount of red counters would be

And the amount of yellow counters would be

For the second bag, the amount of red counters would be

And the amount of yellow counters would be

x= -3 and

step-by-step explanation:

to find the roots of a cubic, use division or factoring to find the factors then set equal to 0. as this is a difference of cubes, it factors into

where a is the cube root of .

here   this is 27 and the cube root of 27 is 3. so we write using the form:

.

set each factor to 0 and solve for x.

x-3=0

x=3

the quadratic expression does not factor and must be solved using the quadratic formula.

where a = 1, b=3, and c=9

this cubic has two complex roots.
