Answer: After 3 hours both will have the same cost.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x = Number of hours and y be the total cost.
Total cost = Initial cost + (cost per hour)(Number of hours)
At Mike's Bounce Shop,
Total cost (y)= 30+2x
At Jose's Bounce Rentals,
Total cost(y) = 12+8x
When both shops have the same cost, then

Total cost = 12+8(3)=12+24=$36
Hence, After 3 hours both will have the same cost.
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Zeros α = -3 and β = -4
Quadratic equation: x² - (α + β)x + αβ = 0
x² - (-3-4)x + (-3)*(-4) = 0
x² - (-7)x + 12 =0
x² + 7x + 12 = 0
Use elimination
Multiply first equation by 4
12a - 8b = 56
12a + 9b = 39
Subtract both
-17b = 17
b = -1
Plug in -1 for b
3a - 2(-1) = 14
3a = 12, a = 4
Final answer: a = 4, b = -1
