The first equation is 
(Equation 1)
The second equation is
(Equation 2)
Putting the value of x from equation 1 in equation 2.
we get,


by simplifying the given equation,


Using discriminant formula,


Now the formula for solution 'x' of quadratic equation is given by:


Hence, these are the required solutions.
The simple interest formula is:
A = P(1 + rt)
where A is the final amount, P is the principal, r is the annual interest rate (as a decimal) and t is time in years.
Substituting with P = 1,300, r = 0.06 and t = 3, we get:
A = 1,300(1 + 0.06*3)
A = 1,300*1.18
A = 1,534
The final amount will be $1,534
Step-by-step explanation:
3x²+4=31
3x²=31-4
3x²=27
x²=27÷3
x²=9
x=±3
So we know we don't want to exceed 18 dollars.
So what we want to know is how many times can 2 dollars go into 18 dollars.
We would do

Now the answer is 9, so we know we can buy 9 pounds of apples without going over 18 dollars.
