If x is the amount that Tanya paid for each item, then Tony's items would be x-2.25. So:

3x=4(x-2.25)

3x=4x-9

x=9

x-2.25=6.75

Tanya spent $9 on each item; Tony spent $6.75 on each of his items. ☺☺☺☺

need help.    solve for y.  try factoring first if not possible or difficult use quadratic formula.               y²-6y+6=0
lbvjy [14]
y^2-6y+6=0\\ \\a=1 , \ b=-6, \ c=6 \\ \\\Delta =b^2-4ac = (-6)^2 -4\cdot1\cdot6 = 36-24=12\\ \\\sqrt{\Delta }= \sqrt{12}=\sqrt{4\cdot 3}=2\sqrt{3} \\ \\x_{1}=\frac{-b-\sqrt{\Delta} }{2a}=\frac{6-2\sqrt{3}}{2 }=\frac{2( 3- \sqrt{3})}{2}= 3- \sqrt{3}

x_{2}=\frac{-b+\sqrt{\Delta} }{2a}=\frac{6+2\sqrt{3}}{2 }=\frac{2( 3+ \sqrt{3})}{2}= 3+ \sqrt{3}
