-1/8
1. ) 3/4 becomes 6/8
2. ) -7 + 6 = -1
Answer:
x = -0.62 and x = 4.29
These values are approximations !
Step-by-step explanation:
You can not use Factoring to solve this equation. Perhaps you did not use the exact notation as in the original question?
Anyway, to solve it, you can still use the ABC formula.
3x²-11x-6=0
a = 3
b =-11
c = -6
x = [11 + √{121 -4(3 *-6)} ]/ 2*3
x = [11 + √{121 -4(-24)} ]/ 6
x = [11 + √{121 + 96} ]/ 6
x = [11 + √{217} ]/ 6
x = 4.29 This is an approximation !
x = [11 - √{121 -4(3 *-6)} ]/ 2*3
x = [11 - √{121 -4(-24)} ]/ 6
x = [11 - √{121 + 96} ]/ 6
x = [11 - √{217} ]/ 6
x = -0.62 This is an approximation !

<span>If Tanya’s three items (x) cost the same as Tony’s four items (y), 3x = 4y. Y is 2.25 less than x, so: 3x = 4x - 4 x 2.25. 3x = 4x - 9. 3x + 9 = 4x. 9 = x. Therefore, y = 9 - 2.25. x = 9 and y = 6.75. Three times 9 and four times 6.75 is 27. Tanya’s items cost $9 each and Tony’s cost $6.75.</span>
