Answer:
1 skateboard will cost $73 and the other will cost $72
Step-by-step explanation:
Skateboard A (Original) = X
Skateboard B (+$1) = X + 1
Solving for X
(x + 1) + x = 145
2x + 1 - 1 = 145 - 1
2x = 144
2/2 = x
144/2 = 72
x = 72

Answer: 2/3, -4/3</h3>
=========================================================
Explanation:
You could use the AC method to factor this, but the quadratic formula is the most efficient route in my opinion. This will avoid any guess-and-check.
Compare the original equation to the form 
We have a = 9, b = 6, and c = -8
Those values lead to...

Side notes:
- 2/3 = 0.667 approximately
- -4/3 = 1.333 approximately
- Since your teacher did not give rounding instructions, I'll assume s/he wants the fraction form of each x value (rather than the decimal form). Be sure to follow all instructions given, and ask for clarification if need.
- To confirm the solutions, replace every copy of x with either 2/3 or -4/3 (pick one value only). Simplifying the left hand side should lead to 0. I'll let you check each answer.
A)
If it has an area of 4(x+3) we can think that one side has a length of 4, and the other has a length of (x+3).
So, if the dimensions were doubled, 4 x 2 = 8. And 2(x+3) = 2x+6.
The new area would be:
8(2x+6) = 16x+48.
B)
The ratio will be the same. For example lets plug in some points:
x=0
4(0+3) = 4(3) = 12
And
16(0)+48 = 0+48 = 48
So the ratio is 48/12 = 4
Lets plug in another point.
x=2
4(2+3)= 4(5) = 20
And
x=2
16(2)+48 = 32 + 48 = 80
80/20 = 4
So the ratio is the same :)
Step-by-step explanation:
9 = a7 + b
-2 = a9 + b
b = 9-7a and b = - 2-9a
9 - 7a = - 2-9a
2a = - 11
a = - 5.5
b = 9 - 5.5*7 = - 29.5
y = -5.5x - 29.5
