the 2 negatives get rid of eachother so its 2
2
I think it’s A.6.3
Sorry if I’m wrong but I’m pretty sure it’s that.
ivied the total number of tennis balls buy the number of cans to see how many tennis balls are in 1 can
9 divided by 3 = 3
there are 3 tennis balls per can
fraction would be 3/1 ( meaning 3 balls to 1 can)
Note:xy means x times y and x(y) means the same thing
so
first we get rid of square root then
make the equation equal to zero becaues if
xy=0 then x or/and y=0
squareroot(y-1)+3=y
isolate the squareroot
subtrac 3 from boht sides
squareroot(y-1)=y-3
square both sides (since they are equal, you should be able to square both sides and still make it true)
(squareroot(y-1))^2=(y-3)^2
(y-1)=(y-3)(y-3)
y-1=y^2-6y+9
subtrac y from both sides
-1=y^2-7y+9
add 1 to both sides
0=y^2-7y+10
find what two number multiply to make 10 and add to get -7
the answer is -2 and -5
0=(y-5)(y-2)
therfore
y-5=0
and/or
y-2=0
therefor
y=5 or/and 2 might work
let's try out 2
square root(2-1)+3=2
square root(1)+3=2
1+3=2
false
so 2 doesn't work
let's try 5
squareroot(5-1)+3=5
squareroot(4)+3=5
2+3=5
5=5
true
y=5
a rough estimate is 26 because 20+2(3)=26
3 pounds of apples are 6.36
19.75+ 2.12(3) = 26.11
