Answer:
The merchant buys 30 shirts originally.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let us assume that the merchant bought x numbers of shirts in $120.
So, the cost for each shirt is $
.
Now, if the cost for each shirt is reduced by 1$, then he would have bought 10 shirts more i.e. (x + 10) shirts in $120.
So, we can write the following equation as
⇒(120 - x)(x + 10) = 120x
⇒ 120x - 10x + 1200 - x² = 120x
⇒ x² +10x - 1200 = 0
⇒ x² + 40x - 30x - 1200 = 0
⇒(x + 40)(x - 30) = 0
⇒ x = - 40 or x = 30
But x can not be negative.
Hence, the merchant buys 30 shirts originally. (Answer)

The option "The function has a positive y-intercept" is true because f(0) = 2, which is the y-intercept.
Step-by-step explanation:
Three miles a day should be the correct answer
The perimeter of the rectangle is equal to the doubled sum of the sides, and the area is equal to the product of the sides. So we have the following equation
3 x 2x = 2(3 + 2x)
6x = 6 + 4x
2x = 6
x = 3
