Answer:

p = 5.88/3 –.75

The original be price was $1.21 per lb pound

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the new price per pound, divide 5.88 by 3.

Then subtract .75 from the new be price to find the original price.

5.88/3 = 1.96

1.96 –.75 = 1.21

X² - 8x - 33=0<br> complete the square

<h2>Answer:</h2><h2></h2><h2> $\boxed{x_{1}=-3} \\ \\ \boxed{x_{2}=11}$ </h2>

<h2>Explanation:</h2>

Step 1. Write $x^2 - 8x - 33=0$ in the form $x^2+2ax+a^2=0$

$2a=-8\quad :\quad a=-4$

Step 2. Add and subtract $(-4)^2$ to the left side of the equation

$x^2-8x-33+\left(-4\right)^2-\left(-4\right)^2=0 \\ \\ \\ But: \\ \\ x^2+2ax+a^2=\left(x+a\right)^2 \\ \\ x^2-8x+\left(-4\right)^2=\left(x-4\right)^2$

Step 3. Complete square

$\left(x-4\right)^2-33-\left(-4\right)^2=0 \\ \\ \left(x-4\right)^2-49=0 \\ \\ (x-4)=\pm \sqrt{49} \\ \\ x-4=\pm 7 \\ \\ \boxed{x_{1}=-3} \\ \\ \boxed{x_{2}=11}$
