Answer:
do distributive property on both, so multiply 6•x and 6•-4. then multiply 7•x and 7•3.
so it'll basically be 6x - 24 = 7x + 21.
then add 24 to both sides so: 6x - 24 + 24 = 7x + 21 + 24. since -24+24=0 it'll be 6x = 7x + 21 + 24.
then add 21 + 24 and that will be 45.
so 6x = 7x + 45
then subtract 7x from both sides 6x - 7x = 7x + 45 - 7x
that'll be -x = 7x + 45 - 7x
combine like terms (7x - 7x) = 0
so -x = 45
and since x can't be negative, do the opposite signs
so instead of -x = 45, make it x = -45
Hope it helped! (sorry that's its very long just wanted to show u the steps just in case)
Answer:
(a) yes
(b) no; see below
Step-by-step explanation:
(a) Integer roots of the quartic will be integer divisors of 6. One of the divisors of 6 is 3, so 3 is a possible root.
(b) In order for 3 to be a double root, it would have to be a double factor of 6. The only integer factors of 6 are 1, 2, 3, 6. (3² = 9 is not one.)
___
The quartic can be written as ...
k(x -a)(x -b)(x -c)(x -d) . . . . . where a, b, c, d, k are integers
The constant term will be kabcd, of which each of the roots is a factor. If the constant is 6 and one root is d=3, then we must have
kabcd = 3kabc = 6
kabc = 6/3 = 2
Among these four integer factors, there must be an even number of minus signs, and one that has the value ±2. Another root whose value is 3 will not satisfy the requirements.

To find the answer, you divide the price by the amount of pencils. This should lead you to have individual Brand A pencils at $0.15 and individual Brand B pencils at $0.12, making Brand B the better buy.
