2.40
5.40-2.40= 3 (price of 2 sodas)
8.70 - 7.20 = 1.5 (price of 1 soda)
The soda prices match up so a hamburger is 2.40
answer: d
explantion :
Factor the numerator and denominator and cancel the common factors.
40x+8x^2=0 can be solved for x (there are two solutions):
Divide all 3 terms by the greatest common multiple (which is 8x):
40x+8x^2=0
------------- -----
8x 8x
5 + x = 0 produces the root x = - 5.
Setting 8x = 0 and solving for x produces the root x = 0.
Be certain to check these results. substitute x = -5 into 40x+8x^2=0. Is the resulting equation true or false? Next, subs. x=-5 into 40x+8x^2=0. Is the resulting equation true or false?
