answer
D 2
factor
factor the equation 
into (x + a) and (x + b) so that a + b = -2 and a * b = -8
the two numbers that meet these conditions are a = -4 and b = 2
find solutions
set both (x - 4) and (x + 2) equal to zero to find your solutions
x - 4 = 0
x = 4
x + 2 = 0
x = -2
add solutions
since the two solutions are x = 4 and x = -2, add them together to get your final answer
4 + (-2) = 2
Remark
Whatever the original price, he gets 70% in the first instance.
He gets 80% in the second instance.
He gets 90% in the third instance
His total income is 240 dollars.
Let the original price be x
Equation
70%x + 80%x +90%x = 240
70% = 0.7 ; 80% = 0.8 ;90% = 0.9
Solution
0.7x + 0.8x + 0.9x = 240 Take out x as a common factor and add the decimals.
x (0.7 + 0.8 + 0.9) = 240
2.4x = 240 Divide both sides by 2.4
x = 240/2.4
x = 100
So the watches should have brought in 3*100 = 300 dollars.
He only brought in 240 dollars.
He lost 300 - 240 = 60 dollars.
The answer is B.
