<h2><u>Answer</u><u>:</u><u>-</u></h2>

Jessica sells = 240 books,

Josh sells = 16 books.

<h3>Given:-</h3>

The price of one book is = $15

Jessica sold 15 times more books than Josh.

In total, they have sold 256 books.

<h3>Solution:-</h3>

We can easily find the answer using variables.

Let,

Josh sold a total of x books whereas Jessica sold a total number of 15x books.

together they sold 16x books.

So we can form the equation

16x= 256

by solving this equation we will get x=16

So, Josh sold 16 books and Jessica sold 16×15=240 books in total.

Which graph represents the function f(x)=
zhenek [66]

Step-by-step explanation:

you don't show us the choices.

anyway, the real graph must be similar to the one you are showing, as it goes to - and + infinity for x = 2.

because the denominator "x-2" will be 0 for x = 2.

but the horizontal limits are both y = +3 (and not 0).

because (3x-2)/(x-2) goes more and more to 3/1 the larger (or smaller in the - direction) x gets.
