Check the picture below.
based on the equation, if we set y = 0, we'd end up with 0 = 0.5(x-3)(x-k).
and that will give us two x-intercepts, at x = 3 and x = k.
since the triangle is made by the x-intercepts and y-intercepts, then the parabola most likely has another x-intercept on the negative side of the x-axis, as you see in the picture, so chances are "k" is a negative value.
now, notice the picture, those intercepts make a triangle with a base = 3 + k, and height = y, where "y" is on the negative side.
let's find the y-intercept by setting x = 0 now,
![\bf y=0.5(x-3)(x+k)\implies y=\cfrac{1}{2}(x-3)(x+k)\implies \stackrel{\textit{setting x = 0}}{y=\cfrac{1}{2}(0-3)(0+k)} \\\\\\ y=\cfrac{1}{2}(-3)(k)\implies \boxed{y=-\cfrac{3k}{2}} \\\\[-0.35em] ~\dotfill\\\\ \stackrel{\textit{area of a triangle}}{A=\cfrac{1}{2}bh}~~ \begin{cases} b=3+k\\ h=y\\ \quad -\frac{3k}{2}\\ A=1.5\\ \qquad \frac{3}{2} \end{cases}\implies \cfrac{3}{2}=\cfrac{1}{2}(3+k)\left(-\cfrac{3k}{2} \right)](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Cbf%20y%3D0.5%28x-3%29%28x%2Bk%29%5Cimplies%20y%3D%5Ccfrac%7B1%7D%7B2%7D%28x-3%29%28x%2Bk%29%5Cimplies%20%5Cstackrel%7B%5Ctextit%7Bsetting%20x%20%3D%200%7D%7D%7By%3D%5Ccfrac%7B1%7D%7B2%7D%280-3%29%280%2Bk%29%7D%20%5C%5C%5C%5C%5C%5C%20y%3D%5Ccfrac%7B1%7D%7B2%7D%28-3%29%28k%29%5Cimplies%20%5Cboxed%7By%3D-%5Ccfrac%7B3k%7D%7B2%7D%7D%20%5C%5C%5C%5C%5B-0.35em%5D%20~%5Cdotfill%5C%5C%5C%5C%20%5Cstackrel%7B%5Ctextit%7Barea%20of%20a%20triangle%7D%7D%7BA%3D%5Ccfrac%7B1%7D%7B2%7Dbh%7D~~%20%5Cbegin%7Bcases%7D%20b%3D3%2Bk%5C%5C%20h%3Dy%5C%5C%20%5Cquad%20-%5Cfrac%7B3k%7D%7B2%7D%5C%5C%20A%3D1.5%5C%5C%20%5Cqquad%20%5Cfrac%7B3%7D%7B2%7D%20%5Cend%7Bcases%7D%5Cimplies%20%5Ccfrac%7B3%7D%7B2%7D%3D%5Ccfrac%7B1%7D%7B2%7D%283%2Bk%29%5Cleft%28-%5Ccfrac%7B3k%7D%7B2%7D%20%5Cright%29)

Shelley's pet food store sold one customer 5 peanut butter biscuits for $3. She sold another customer 7 beef treats for $4.20.
For peanut, the cost is ratio is

For beef, the ratio is

If we take cross product of these items,

It implies, that the sale is in true proportion. From the cross product, we find that it is equal.
