I'm so glad the Machines have abandoned the war, it makes my job a lot easier.

Was 24 supposed to be the correct answer to the question about trees dropping leaves? I worked through it, and I got something different.
"One-and-a-half trees lose one-and-a-half leaves in one-and-a-half days." If the number of trees is doubled, and the number of days stays the same, then the number of leaves dropped will be doubled. Therefore:
Three trees will lose three leaves in one-and-a-half days.
If the number of trees stays at three, and the number of days increases, then the number of leaves dropped will increase at the same rate as the number of days. To be more specific, the number of leaves dropped will be twice the number of days (since three [leaves] equals one-and-a-half [days] times two), as long as the number of trees stays at three.
"How many leaves will be dropped from three trees in eight days?"
Since the number of trees is three, the number of leaves dropped will be 16 (eight times two).
Also, I didn't see the answer to the quadratic equation in any of those screenshots. If you graph "Y equals three times X squared plus five times X minus twelve" on a TI-83 (or any other graphing calculator), you'll see that there is a minimum at X = -0.833 and Y = -14.083. If Y is any higher than -14.083, then there will be two values of X that satisfy the equation. If Y is less than -14.083, then there won't be any values of X that satisfy the equation (unless you use imaginary numbers). So the only way there can be a unique value of X that satisfies the equation is if Y = -14.083, but Biotechnician didn't say what Y was in any of those screenshots. Am I missing something? Could someone please explain what the answer was and how they got it? (It was pretty easy to factor the equation, but that didn't seem to help much.)
