x = number of packages he bought
y = number of popsicles in each package
Here are the two equations:
xy = 54
x = 3 + y
Using the substitution method, you can solve them to find x and y.
(3 + y)y = 54,
3y + y^2 = 54
y^2 + 3y - 54 = 0
Solve the quadriatic equation:
(y +9)(y - 6) = 0
y = -9, 6.
Plug y into: xy = 54
x(-9) = 54, x = -6.
x(6) = 54, x = 9.
So he bought 9 packages of popsicles, bc you can't bye -6 packages.
-18 because 2 1/4 as an improper fraction is 9/4 then it -8/1 then multiply which is -72/4 and simplified is -18.

Step-by-step explanation:
press ask for help i think it my help im also stumped on that
Answer:
3/8 = 9/24 ; 1/3 = 8/24 ; 3/8 > 1/3
Step-by-step explanation:
You have to multiply 8 and 3 to obtein the same number as denominatoe (24).
Once you have the same number you can use < = >
