The answer is A.
You can get this by modeling the function. It's slope and y intercept will yield the equation y = -.5x +1.5. Then you can try the ordered pairs in that, all of which work.
Do 13,500 times .012. Take that answer and multiply it by 10. From that answer, subtract it from 13,500. That would be your final answer.
Alrighty
remember

means

and

and

for all real values of x
so

means

means

which simplifies to
1=x²+4x-5
minus 1 both sides
0=x²+4x-6
use quadratic formula or complete the square

and

2 solutions
Okay I will have an example for you. 3 and 2/7. STEP 1) multiply the denominator by the whole number. 3×7=21. STEP 2) add the numerator to 21. 21+2=23. STEP 3) 23 is the new numerator so put 23 over 7. FINAL SOLUTION 23/7.
