Answer:
(1) -5 and -3
Step-by-step explanation:
Descarte's rule of signs tells you the lack of sign changes among the coefficients means there are <em>no positive real roots</em>. That eliminates all answer choices except the first one.

If you want to go to the trouble, you can factor the equation:
y = (x +3)(x +5)
These factors are zero when x = -5 and x = -3.
The right answer is Option A.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let,
x be the postcards
y be the large envelops
According to given statement;
14x+5y=12 Eqn 1
10x+15y=24.80 Eqn 2
Multiplying Eqn 1 by 3;
Subtracting Eqn 2 from Eqn 3;
Dividing both sides by 32
Putting x=0.35 in Eqn 1;
Dividing both sides by 5
Therefore, one large envelope costs $1.42
The right answer is Option A.
