Answer: See explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

The information given in the question can be presented into an equation as:

4x + 3y = 10.25 ...... equation i

2x + 7y = 14.75 ........ equation ii

Multiply equation i by 2

Multiply equation ii by 4

8x + 6y = 20.50 ...... equation iii

8x + 28y = 59 ...... equation iv

Subtract equation iii from iv

22y = 39.50

y = 39.50/22

y = 1.80

Each candy bar cost $1.80

From equation i

4x + 3y = 10.25

4x + 3(1.80) = 10.25

4x + 5.40 = 10.25

4x = 10.25 - 5.40

4x = 4.85

x = 4.85/4

x = 1.2125

Each cookie cost $1.2125

What are the roots of the equation? ​
IRISSAK [1]

Answer:

-8 and -3

Step-by-step explanation:

x^{2} +24=-11x

Add 11x to both sides;

x^{2} +11x+24=0\\\\(x+3)(x+8)=0

x + 3 = 0

Subtract 3 from both sides;

x = -3

x + 8 = 0

Subtract 8 from both sides;

x = -8
