1.27, -6.27 to the nearest hundredth,

or if you require it in exact form,

-2.5 + √14.25,   -2.5 - √14.25.

Step-by-step explanation:

x^2 = -5x + 8

x^2 + 5x  = 8

Competing the square:

(x + 2.5)^2 - 6.25 = 8

(x + 2.5) = 14.25

x + 2.5 = +/-√14.25

x = -2.5 + √14.25,   -2.5 - √14.25

x = -2.5 + 3.77,  -2.5 - 3.77

= 1.27, -6.27.

b.) 160 miles on a 5 gallons car

step-by-step explanation:

240/10=24 miles/gallon

160/5=32 miles/gallon

30/1=30 miles/gallon

168/6= 28 miles/gallon

32 miles/gallon is the most amount, so this is the best.
