If he has his choices narrowed down to 7 hip-hop, 5 jazz, 7 pop, and 8 blues songs, and he wants to play no more than 3 hip-hop songs, how many different playlists are possible? Express your answer in scientific notation rounding to the hundredths place.

there are many solutions.

step-by-step explanation:

step 1: simplify both sides of the equation.

4x+6=4x^2+10x−4

step 2: subtract 4x^2+10x-4 from both sides.

4x+6−(4x^2+10x−4)=4x^2+10x−4−(4x^2+10x−4)

−4x^2−6x+10=0

step 3: factor left side of equation.

−2(2x+5)(x−1)=0

step 4: set factors equal to 0.

x=-5/2 or x=1
