Answer: Positive
Step-by-step explanation: It would be positive because the question is asking how much money they lost. The lost a positive amount of money.
Divide by 21 to put the equation in intercept form.
x/(21/9) + y/(-21/7) = 1
x/(7/3) + y/(-3) = 1
The x-intercept is (7/3, 0)
The y-intercept is (0, -3)
The 3rd choice is appropriate.
(x - 3) + (x - 6) + x = 63
x - 3 + x - 6 + x = 63
Combine like terms
3x - 9 = 63
Isolate the constant
3x - 9 + 9 = 63 + 9
3x = 72
Isolate the viable
3x / 3 = 72 / 3
x = 24
Answer:
A. No real solution
B. 5 and -1.5
C. 5.5
Step-by-step explanation:
The quadratic formula is:
, with a being the x² term, b being the x term, and c being the constant.
Let's solve for a.



We can't take the square root of a negative number, so A has no real solution.
Let's do B now.





So B has two solutions of 5 and -1.5.
Now to C!




So c has one solution: 5.5
Hope this helped (and I'm sorry I'm late!)
