Ok so the solution which greenrune will (hopefully) correct
total is 1.5
p+r=1.5
rule is 1 more than pencil
r=1+p
sub 1+p for r
p+1+p=1.5
2p+1=1.5
minus 1 from both sides
2p=0.5
divide both sides by 2
p=0.25
pencil=$0.25
note that the zeroes should be x = 1 and x = - 2 not x = - 1 and x = 2
the factors are then ( x - 1 ) and (x + 2)
and x³ - 4x² - 7x + 10 = (x - 1 )(x + 2) = x² + x - 2
thus x² + x - 2 is a factor
dividing x³ - 4x² - 7x + 10 by x² + x - 2 gives x - 5
the third zero is x = 5
check : (5)³ -4(5)² - 7(5) + 10 = 125 - 100 - 35 + 10 = 0
