We can let x be the number of boxes sold for the first week. We can as well express the number of boxes for the second and third week through x using the statements provided.
Since the girl scout sold 5 more boxes on the second week, we have (x + 5) number of boxes sold for the second week. Now, for the third week, since it's double that of the second week, we have 2(x + 5). Thus, we have the following:
first week: x
second week: x + 5
third week: 2(x + 5)
Given that the total number of boxes sold for the three weeks is 431. We have
x + (x + 5) + 2(x + 5) = 431
x + x + 5 + 2x + 10 = 431
4x + 15 = 431
4x = 431 - 15
4x = 416
x = 104
We have now the value of x. Using this, we can find the values for the second and third week.
x + 5 = `104 + 5 = 109
2(x + 5) = 2(109) = 218
Answer:
first week: 104
second week: 109
third week: 218

Answer: D) -3</h3>
Explanation:
Recall that y = f(x) since both are outputs of a function.
If k = 2, then f(x) = 2 leads to y = 2 being a horizontal line drawn through 2 on the y axis. This horizontal line only crosses the cubic curve at one spot. The same can be said if k = 0 and k = -2. So we can rule out choices A,B,C.
On the other hand, if k = -3, then f(x) = -3 has three different solutions. This is because the horizontal line through -3 on the y axis crosses the cubic at 3 different intersection points.
Y - y1 = m(x - x1).....this is point slope form
slope(m) = -1
(2,4)...x1 = 2 and y1 = 4
now we sub
y - 4 = -1(x - 2) <===
