Alexis counted 16 commercials while watching 30 minutes of tv. at this rate, how many commercials would play in a day?

30 minutes is half an hour.

so in 30 minutes is 16 commercials, so in 1 hour is twice as many, 32 commercials.

there are 24 hours in a day, so 32 commercials 24 times, 32 * 24.

there are many solutions.

step-by-step explanation:

step 1: simplify both sides of the equation.

4x+6=4x^2+10x−4

step 2: subtract 4x^2+10x-4 from both sides.

4x+6−(4x^2+10x−4)=4x^2+10x−4−(4x^2+10x−4)

−4x^2−6x+10=0

step 3: factor left side of equation.

−2(2x+5)(x−1)=0

step 4: set factors equal to 0.

x=-5/2 or x=1
