A brownie recipe calls for 1/2 cup of flour, 1/8 cup of cocoa powder, and 3/8 cup of sugar. How many cups of dry ingredients are needed to double this recipe?

1/2 x 2= 1

1/8 x 2= 1/4

3/8 x 2= 3/4

3/4 x 1/4 = 3/16

3/16 x 1 = 3/16

YOUR ANSWER IS 3/16 dry ingredients

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
