3. At a bargain store, Jamal bought 2 items that each cost the same amount. Isaiah bought 3 items that each cost the same amount

, but each was $2.25 less than the items that Jamal bought. Both Jamal and Isaiah paid the same amount of money. What was the individual cost of each person's items?
(5 points) (a) Write an equation. Let x represent the cost of one of Jamal's items. Your equation will have an x term on both sides.

(2 pts) (b) Solve the equation. Show your work.

(3 pts) (c) Check your solution. Show your work. (1 pt bonus)

Answer:

  • $6.75 and $4.50

Step-by-step explanation:

a) <u>Jamal spent:</u>

  • 2x

<u>Isaiah spent:</u>

  • 3 (x - 2.25)

<u>The equation is:</u>

  • 2x = 3(x - 2.25)

b) <u>Solving the equation</u>

  • 2x = 3x - 6.75
  • 3x - 2x = 6.75
  • x = 6.75

c) <u>Jamal's items cost </u>

  • $6.75 each

<u>Isaiah's items cost </u>

  • $6.75 - $2.25 = $4.50 each

Plot the x- and y- intercepts of the function.
olya-2409 [2.1K]

Answer:

y intercept = -2

x intercepts = -2,-1,1

Step-by-step explanation:

f(x) = x^3 + 2x^2 -x-2

Set this equation equal to zero to find the x intercepts.

Factoring by grouping

0 =x^3 -x   +2x^2 -2

   = x( x^2-1) +2(x^2-1)

Factoring out the (x^2-1)

0= (x^2-1) (x+2)

Factoring the first term using the difference of squares (a^2-b^2) = (a-b)(a+b)

0 = (x-1) (x+1) (x+2)

Using the zero product property

x-1 = 0  x+1  = 0  x+2 =0

x=1,  x=-1   x=-2

The x intercepts are -2, -1, 1


To find the y intercepts, set x=0

y = x^3 + 2x^2 -x-2

y = 0 -2

y = -2

What point the equation
Zinaida [17]

Answer:

<h2>D. (-2, 4)</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

Put the coordinates of the points and check the equality.

2x + 3y = 8

A. (1, 4) → x = 1, y = 4

2(1) + 3(4) = 2 + 12 = 14 ≠ 8

B. (2, 2) → x = 2, y = 2

2(2) + 3(2) = 4 + 6 = 10 ≠ 8

C. (-1, 3) → x = -1, y = 3

2(-1) + 3(3) = -2 + 9 = 7 ≠ 8

D. (-2, 4) → x = -2, y = 4

2(-2) + 3(4) = -4 + 12 = 8   CORRECT
