Step-by-step explanation:

because so the squirrel hid 40

so

  ||| 8

  ||| 16

  ||| 24

  ||| 32

   ||| 40

so if you count the all the group of 3 that will get your answer.  

let me know if this make sense.

"standard form:

3x2 + 14x − 10 = 0

solutions based on quadratic formula:

x1   = −14 − √ 142 − 4×3×(−10) /   2×3   = −14 − 2 × √ 79 /   6   ≈ −5.296

x2   = −14 + √ 142 − 4×3×(−10) /   2×3   = −14 + 2 × √ 79 /   6   ≈ 0.629
