A bakery sells 3 muffins for every 5 pizza pies. The bakery sold a total of 24 muffins and pizza pies together. How many of each kind did the bakery sell? A. 6 muffins and 18 pizza pies
B. 9 muffins and 15 pizza pies
C. 15 muffins and 6 pizza pies
D. 18 muffins and 6 pizza pies

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
