Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
x = cheaper compact disc
y = more expensive compact disc
x + y = 375.....x = 375 - y
12.95x + 14.95y = 5306.25
12.95(375 - y) + 14.95y = 5306.25
4856.25 - 12.95y + 14.95y = 5306.25
4856.25 + 2y = 5306.25
2y = 5306.25 - 4856.25
2y = 450
y = 450/2
y = 225 <==== there were 225 of the more expensive compact discs sold
x + y = 375
x + 225 = 375
x = 375 - 225
x = 150 <==== there were 150 of the cheaper compact discs sold
check...
12.95x + 14.95y = 5306.25
12.95(150) + 14.95(225) = 5306.25
1942.50 + 3363.75 = 5306.25
5306.25 = 5306.25 (correct)

Answer:
(x - 8)(x + 3)
Step-by-step explanation:
x² - 5x - 24
Consider the factors of - 24 which sum to give the coefficient of the x- term (- 5)
The factors are - 8 and + 3 , since
- 8 × + 3 = - 24 and - 8 + 3 = - 5
Use these factors to split the x- term
x² - 8x + 3x - 24 ( factor the first/second and third/fourth terms )
= x(x - 8) + 3(x - 8) ← factor out (x - 8) from each term
= (x - 8)(x + 3) ← in factored form
