1.)what is the only solution of 2x^2 + 8x = x^2 – 16?

If you would like to solve the equation 2 * x^2 + 8 * x = x^2 - 16, you can calculate this using the following steps:

2 * x^2 + 8 * x = x^2 - 16
2 * x^2 - x^2 + 8 * x + 16 = 0
x^2 + 8 * x + 16 = 0
(x + 4) * (x + 4) = 0
x = - 4

The correct result would be x = - 4.

There is 240 red cars and there is 400 blue cars because 240/3=80 and 80*5=400
