Answer:
1. Technically 2, but might be 0 in your teacher's opinion.
2. 1
Step-by-step explanation:
Solving problem one.
So I don't know if you have learned about imaginary numbers, but if you have, then you would end up with two answers if you plugged in the quadratic formula.
If you haven't learned about imaginary numbers, then I would say your best option would be to write 'No real solution' since there are technically 2 solutions.
Solving problem two.
Turns out this quadratic has a special property and it's actually a square of one equation. You can find out by just factoring the equation.
It's (3x-2)^2. Since it's squared, that means that only 2/3 would work as x in this equation.
Price of boots is represented as x, price of tennis shoes is represented as y.
x-y=44.38
x+y=196.12
Isolate x. (Or y, if you wanted to)
x=y+44.38
x=196.12-y
Set them equal to each other.
y+44.38=196.12-y
Solve for y. Then plug it in to either of the two original equations to find x.
x=120.24
y=75.86
Note: This is assuming that the boots are more expensive than the tennis shoes. If the tennis shoes are more expensive than the boots, then the prices would be switched. I didn't find this clear in your question.

Answer:
26.9y2
Step-by-step explanation:
2/5 divide -3/10 can be rewritten as 2/5 * - 10/3. Which is -20/15 = -4/3 = -1 1/3
