Answer:
i is always positive
Step-by-step explanation:
if be multiply 3 by 3 and get 9, then you multiply -2i by 2i and get -4i squared
9-4i^2 is now easy to solve unless we do now know the value of i, but since i is squared, i is always positive

company A :
30,000 + 0.03(37499) = 31124.97...sales less then 37500
30,000 + 0.03(37501) = 31125.03....sales exceed 37500
30,000 + 0.03(249000) = 37470 ...sales less then 250000
30,000 + 0.03(251000) = 37530....sales exceed 250000
company B :
25,000 + 0.05(37499) = 26874.95...sales less then 37500
25,000 + 0.05(37501) = 26875.05...sales exceed 37500
25000 + 0.05(249000) = 37450...sales less then 250000
25,000 + 0.05(251000) = 37550...sales exceed 250000
so i believe your answer is option b,
company A pays better when sales are less then 250,000, but company B pays better when sales exceed 250,000 <==
X pounds of apples were sold
Y pounds of peaches were sold
{1.75X+2.5Y=337.5
{X+Y=164
{X=164-Y
{1.75*(164-Y)+2.5Y=337.5
0.75Y=337.5-287
Y=67.333
There are 67.333 pounds of peaches were sold.
