alana and petra go to a used book sale, where every book is the same price. Alana buys 5 books and Petra buys 4 books. They run

into their friend Angus, who really loves to read, and discover that he has bought 19 books. Angus received a $10 discount, but he still spent $5 more than Alana and Petra combined. How much does one book cost?

After understanding the problem, formulate equations to determine the unknown. Let x be the price of one book. Equating Alana&Petra's expense with Angus' would be

5x + 4x +5 = 19x - 10

The 5 in the left side is needed because Angus' expense is $5 more. Also, the 10 on the right side represents the $10 discount. Solving the equation,

19x = 9x = 5+10
10x = 15
x = $1.5

Therefore, the book costs $1.5.

Which is the graph of f(x) = -3√x?<br>pls answer quickly​
k0ka [10]

Answer: the graph farthest to the right is almost correct. If you substitute values for x in the function f(x)= -3√x , the output does not match the curve on the graphs shown.

If you have a choice that includes only a curve to the right of the y- axis, that would be better.

Step-by-step explanation: Square roots of Negative x-values will result in imaginary numbers. Otherwise the graph with the curve passing through coordinates (1,-3) (4,-6) and (9,-9) is a good choice.

(And ask your teacher about the square root of negative numbers on this graph.)
