He will pay $179.4.
40% of 299 = 119.6
299-199.6 = 179.4
To check your answer (or another way to do it is) take 60% of 299 = 179.4
To find the zeros of a quadratic fiunction given the equation you can use the next quadratic formula after equal the function to 0:
![\begin{gathered} ax^2+bx+c=0 \\ \\ x=\frac{-b\pm\sqrt[]{b^2-4ac}}{2a} \end{gathered}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Cbegin%7Bgathered%7D%20ax%5E2%2Bbx%2Bc%3D0%20%5C%5C%20%20%5C%5C%20x%3D%5Cfrac%7B-b%5Cpm%5Csqrt%5B%5D%7Bb%5E2-4ac%7D%7D%7B2a%7D%20%5Cend%7Bgathered%7D)

Answer: Third option
Answer:
x = 2, or x = -1
Step-by-step explanation:
If 2x - 3 is inside the parenthesis (), then the value of x is 2.
If 2x - 3 is inside the absolute value sign, then the value of x will probably be -1.
<u>Solution 1</u>
(10x-15) + 4 = 9
10x -11 = 9
10x = 20 -> x = 2
<u>Solution 2</u> (Not 100% sure)
|10x -15| +4 = 9
10x + 15 +4 = 9
10x + 19 = 9
10x = -10 -> x = -1
Please correct me if I'm wrong.
