Jennifer works in the shipping department of a toy factory that makes radio-controlled helicopters. Small helicopters weigh 2 pounds each, and are shipped in a container that weighs 20 pounds. Large ones, on the other hand, weigh 6 pounds apiece, and are shipped in a container that weighs 16 pounds. If these boxes can hold a certain number of helicopters each, all of the packed containers will have the same shipping weight. How many helicopters would fit in either container? What would the total weight be?

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

after simplifying it i got: -36.25 as my answer. hope that !

graph b

step-by-step explanation:

one solution- graph a (clear intercepting point.)

no solution- graph b (they're parallel, there will never be a point of interception.)

infinite solutions- graph c (all points intercept.)
