There are 9 apples and 24 plums in a fruit bowl. What is the ratio of plums to apples?

24:9 or 24 to 9 or

Step-by-step explanation:

The amount of plums is 24. The amount of apples is 9. So to write the ratio of plums (24) to apples (9), you write 24 to 9. You can either write a colon - 24:9 - a to - 24 to 9 - or as a fraction - . But, you have to write it with plums first.

Hope it helps!

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
