Step-by-step explanation:

Here is how I would solve this-

What is the question? How much punch did she drink in all?

What do we need to know? 11/3 + 4/6 cups of punch.

How can we make them have a common denominator? 22/6 + 4/6

Add them together! (22 + 4 = 26) so you get 26/6

Final Answer = Pat drank 26/6 (4 1/3 or 13/3) cups of punch.

Hope this helps! Good luck and let me know if this is right!

option (a)

step-by-step explanation:

step 1:   take 2 number whose product equal to 25..

and sum of those two number are -10

step: 2 for example here if we take 5,5 are the number,,

5*5=25

and

5+5=10

but we need -10

so if we take   -5,-5

so -5*-5=25

and -5+(-5)=-10

s0

come the equation

replace -10x by these number

like -5x -5x+25

take common

x(x-5)-5(x-5)=0

(x-5)(x-5)=0
