Answer: A book cost $2.00

Step-by-step explanation: Given the no of books purchased by

Alana =4          Petra =2       Angus = 16

So

The total price of 4 books of Alana =4x$

Total price for Petra = 2x$

Total price of Alana and Petra =4x+2x

=6x$

Total price for Angus = 16x$

But given Angus received a discount  of $15

So price post discount = 16x- 15

According to the question

16x-15 = 6x +5

Adding 15 both sides

16x +15-15 = 6x + 5+15

16x= 6x+20

Subtracting 6x both sides

16x - 6x = 6x - 6x + 20

10x = 20

i.e x=2

Cost of one book = $2

Split the second term in 3a^2 - 8a + 4 into two terms

3a^2 - 2a - 6a + 4 = 0

Factor out common terms in the first two terms, then in the last two terms.

a(3a - 2) -2(3a - 2) = 0

Factor out the common term 3a - 2

(3a - 2)(a - 2) = 0

Solve for a;

a = 2/3,2

<u>Answer : B. (2/3,2)</u>

-5t+3= -4<br> please answer this question<br> and show your work also
astraxan [27]

Answer:

t=7/5

Step-by-step explanation:

If you subtract 3 from each side, you end up with -5t=-7. In order to keep t isolated, you would have to divide -5 on both sides. When you do this, you will end up with t= -7/-5. You also need to simplify that. When simplified you end up with t=7/5. Hope this helps!
