1. cups of orange juice --- x
cups of apple --------- 8-x

.25x + .75(8-x) = 4.(8)
25x + 75(8-x) = 40(8)

I will let you finish it

2.
For your type of perfect-square trinomial the first and last terms would have to be positive.
---- the -9 takes this one out of the category.
It is not a perfect square.
