If 1 P*P = Q6 ( where Q-P=3, then find values of Q and P

I guess that the equations are:

P*P = Q*6

and

Q - P = 3

now, in the second equation we have:

Q = 3 + P

we can replace it in the first equation:

P^2 = (3 + P)*6 = 6P + 18

then we have the quadratic equation:

P^2  -6P - 18 = 0

Now, we can find the solutions of these equations are:

then the solutions are:

P = (6 + 10.4)/2 = 8.2

and

P = (6 - |0.4)/2 = -2.2

Then, if P = 8.2, then we must have Q = 11.2

and if P = -2.2, then Q = 0.8

answer: a. 13/44

step-by-step explanation: judging by the information given to us, we are looking for experimental probability. we can see that 13 males have chosen chocolate ice cream. there are 44 ice creams in total (remember that the total is always the denominator). so our answer is 13/44.
