(a)
we are given
the price of apple suddenly up by $0.75
Let's assume original price be 'p'
we are given
Sam bought 3 pounds of apple at the new price total is $5.88
so, new price = old price +0.75
price of 3 apples 
we are given that price is 5.88
so, we get equation as
.......Answer
(b)
Since, original price is p
so, we have to solve for p




so, original price is $1.21 per pound........Answer
When the X term is one, and doesn't have a leading coefficient, then you can factor it using the box and diamond method. look up videos on Khan Academy of the box and diamond method for solving trinomials. For number 9, you have a difference of squares. That means you can factor to just 2 terms. (x+4)(x-4) this works because 16 has an easy square root, and the sign in between is a negative(difference)
That’s the answer ❤️❤️❤️Hope that helps!!!
1 is 4 and 4 and 4 is 11 and 5 is 15
