Let the cost price of article be x :

x + x × ( 15/100 ) = 2300

x + x × ( 5 × 3 / 5 × 20 ) = 2300

x + x × ( 3 / 20 ) = 2300

x + ( 3 × x / 20 ) = 2300

x + ( 3x / 20 ) = 2300

( 20x / 20 ) + ( 3x / 20 ) = 2300

20x + 3x / 20 = 2300

23x / 20 = 2300

Multiply both sides by 20

( 23x / 20 ) × 20 = 2300 × 20

23x = 2300 × 20

23x = 23 × 2000

Divide both sides 23

23x ÷ 23 = ( 23 × 2000 ) ÷ 23

x = Rs 2000

Which is the graph of f(x) = (x + 3)(x - 2​
yanalaym [24]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

f(x) = (x + 3)(x - 2​) has two zeros:  One stems from (x + 3) = 0 and is (-3, 0); the other stems from (x - 2) = 0 and is (2, 0).  

The axis of symmetry is a vertical line located halfway between -3 and 2:  

x =  -1/2.

The graph opens up because the given (x + 3)(x - 2) has a positive leading coefficient (+1).

With this information we can eliminate the last two possible answers.  Note that the x-intercepts of the first graph are -3 and 2,  Thus, the first graph is the correct one.
