In a math book??? Need more explanation
Answer:
The original price of the tent = $320
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the original price be =$ 
Discount offered =
% of the orignal price = 
Original price is $80 more than sale price
Discount = Original price - Sale price = $80
So, we have

We need to solve for
to find original price
Dividing both sides by 

∴ The original price of the tent = $320
So I'm going to assume that this question is asking for <u>non extraneous solutions</u>, or solutions that are found in the equation <em>and</em> are valid solutions when plugged back into the equation. So firstly, subtract 2 on both sides of the equation:

Next, square both sides:

Next, subtract x and add 2 to both sides of the equation:

Now we are going to be factoring by grouping to find the solution(s). Firstly, what two terms have a product of 6x^2 and a sum of -5x? That would be -3x and -2x. Replace -5x with -2x - 3x:

Next, factor x^2 - 2x and -3x + 6 separately. Make sure that they have the same quantity on the inside of the parentheses:

Now you can rewrite the equation as 
Now, apply the Zero Product Property and solve for x as such:

Now, it may appear that the answer is C, however we need to plug the numbers back into the original equation to see if they are true as such:

Since both solutions hold true when x = 2 and x = 3, <u>your answer is C. x = 2 or x = 3.</u>
Answer:
C
Step-by-step explanation:
because you have to foil then do -b/2a
Answer:
x = 0, -2
