24 cars pass through an intersection each minute while the traffic light is green. In addition, 6 cars pass through the intersection while the light is yellow. If 84 cars pass through
the intersection during one light cycle (one green light and one yellow light), how long was the green light?

3.25 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

3.25 minutes per green light x 24 = 78

the yellow light is a given, hence 6 cars pass through

78 + 6 = 84 cars

trapezoid

step-by-step explanation:

first i plotted all my points on a grid graph

i made sure all of them were in the correct quadrant

then i saw it was a trapezoid or a quadrilateral

x² + 11x + 18 < 0  

[-11 ± sqrt(121 - 72)]/2 = (-11 ± 7)/2  

solution: (-9, -2)
