Complex solutions, namely roots with a √(-1) or "i" in it, never come all by their lonesome, because an EVEN root like the square root, can have two roots that will yield the same radicand.
a good example for that will be √(4), well, (2)(2) is 4, so 2 is a root, but (-2)(-2) is also 4, therefore -2 is also a root, so you'd always get a pair of valid roots from an even root, like 2 or 4 or 6 and so on.
therefore, complex solutions or roots are never by their lonesome, their sister the conjugate is always with them, so if there's a root a + bi, her sister a - bi is also coming along too.
if complex solutions come in pairs, well, clearly a cubic equation can't yield 3 only.

Answer:
The tank will empty in 4 hours.
Step-by-step explanation:
Since a barrel contains 56 liters of kerosene, and it has two taps, one tap that draws 500 ml every 6 minutes and after first 5 liters are drawn from the barrel, the second tap also starts, and it draws 1 liter in every 5 minutes, to determine how many hours will be taken in all to empty the tank, the following calculation must be performed:
0.5 x X = 5
X = 5 / 0.5
X = 10
10 x 6 = 60
1 hour = 51 liters
1 hour 30 minutes = 51 - (1 x 6) - (0.5 x 5) = 42.5
2 hours = 42.5 - (1 x 6) - (0.5 x 5) = 34
2 hours 30 minutes = 34 - (1 x 6) - (0.5 x 5) = 25.5
3 hours = 25.5 - (1 x 6) - (0.5 x 5) = 17
3 hours 30 minutes = 17 - (1 x 6) - (0.5 x 5) = 8.5
4 hours = 8.5 - (1 x 6) - (0.5 x 5) = 0
Therefore, the tank will empty in 4 hours.
Mark's score could be 120,000. Each ball would be worth 20,000 points and since 2,000 times 6 is 120,000, that's how many points he could have.
