The pricing of the boxes seems to be consistently 2.40 per box. Ethan's cost is
.. 52.80 = 2.40 * (# of boxes)
.. 52.80/2.40 = (# of boxes)
.. 22 = # of boxes
Ethan has bought 22 boxes for 52.80.
If you find the discriminant it will tell you the number and types of roots. The discriminant is the value b^2 -4ac.
a = 1
b = 1
c = 1
1^2 - 4*1*1
1-4 = -3
Since this is a negative number there will be 2 complex roots.
30% off 25: multiply 25 by .30 to find 30%: 7.5. Now subtract that from the sales price: 25-7.5=17.5
Do the same for store B: .40•30=12. 30-12=18.
So store A is better by $.50 :) hope this helps :)

Step-by-step explanation:
y=mx+b
y=5x-1
Answer:
r = -39
Step-by-step explanation:
So we are trying to solve the equation for r.
-6(2r + 8) = -10(r - 3)
Divide both sides by -2. (This will make distributing much easier.)
3(2r + 8) = 5(r - 3)
Distribute the 3 on the left side and the 5 on the right side,
6r + 24 = 5r - 15
Subtract 24 from both sides.
6r = 5r - 39
Subtract 5r from both sides.
r = -39
So now we have solve the equation.
I hope you find my answer and explanation to be helpful. Happy studying. :)
