Melissa and Brian are at the base of a mountain, Melissa hikes to a location 27 meters above sea level. Brian hikes to a
location 21 meters below sea level.
a. Write an integer to represent each hiker's location with respect
to sea level.
b. What is the difference of the hikers' altitudes?
c. Can the integers be subtracted in either order to find the difference? Explain.

it depends on the weather. because i have flown to seattle when it was pouring down rain and there was one time i flew to ohio when it was snowing hard. whats your situation.

step-by-step explanation:

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

the answer is b.
