14. Kurt has 26 plants on his porch. His neighbor gives him p more plants. Now he has 31 plants in all. a. Write an equation to represent the situation.

b. How many plants did Kurt’s neighbor give him?

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
