-40x = 16x2 + 38
Need the steps to solve this please

-1.25  ± 0.90i  correct to the nearest hundredth

Step-by-step explanation:

-40x = 16x2 + 38

16x^2 + 40x + 38 = 0         Divide by 2:

8x^2 + 20x + 19 = 0

Using the quadratic formula:

x = [ -b  ±√(b^2 - 4ac) ] / 2a

Plugging in the coefficients of our equation:

x = [ -20 ±√(20^2 - 4*8*19) ] / 2*8

=  -5/4  ± √(-208)/16

= -5/4 ± 14.4222i/16

= -1.25  ± 0.90i  correct to the nearest hundredth.

120 seems like the most sensible answer.

step-by-step explanation:

if there is only one topping on all caramel apples and there's 120 of them. then all apples should/will be covered in sprinkles. make sense?
