Create a "real-life" situation from (x+3)(x-4)= 0 Can you help me, please?
i am picking up the situation from a classic mathematician in flowery language...
the square root of a swarm of bees went to collect honey from the flowers in a garden.if the bees left are 12 how many bees are there in all?
this gives the same equation , but only x=4 or total bees = 4^2=16 is feasible solution.
if you want another please tell me and i shall give you one,or probably you can build upon the idea now!!
