the expression 8x2 − 64x + 720 is used to approximate a small town's population in thousands from 1998 to 2018, where x represents the number of years since 1998. choose the equivalent expression that is most useful for finding the year where the population was at a minimum.
a). 8(x − 4)2 + 592
b). 8(x − 4)2 − 592
c). 8(x2 − 8x + 90)
d). 8(x2 − 8x) + 90

5=812a+9+3

step 1: simplify both sides of the equation.

5=812a+9+3

5=(812a)+(9+3)(combine like terms)

5=812a+12

5=812a+12

step 2: flip the equation.

812a+12=5

step 3: subtract 12 from both sides.

812a+12−12=5−12

812a=−7

step 4: divide both sides by 812.

812a /812 = -7/812

a= -1/116

so the answer is

a=   -1/116

total of apples - take away four

6-4 = 2
