If by 4x(2) you mean 4x to the power 2 or 4x^2...it can be solved in the following way
f(x)=4x^2-4x-3
=4x^2+2x-6x-3
=2x(2x+2)-3(2x+2)
=(2x-3)(2x+2)
Therefore x=3/2 or x=-2/2=(-1)
$6.89
The book is $10. Minus the 35% discount ($10X0.35=$3.50). So the subtotal is $10-$3.50=$6.50.
Tax is 6%. So 0.06X$6.50=$0.39
The total including tax is $6.50+$0.39=$6.89
