Answer:

84 dollars

Step-by-step explanation:

use x to represent the amount of money Laura had when she started shopping.

use y to represent the amount of money she had left after buying a pair of shorts.

You can create these two equations:

3/4x=y

2/3x=42

now, subsitute the value of y into the second equation.

2/3(3/4x)=42

1/2x=42

x=84

vfiekz [6]

Answer:

a=-8 b=2

Step-by-step explanation:

x^2+6x-16

x^2+(8-2)x-16=0

x^2+8x-2x-16=0

X(X+8)-2(X+8)=0

(X+8)(x-2)=0

Compare with (X+a)(X+b)

Where we get a=-8 b=2
