Answer:
A
Step-by-step explanation:
<h3>
Answer: B. 26</h3>
============================================
Use law of cosines to find angle A
a^2 = b^2 + c^2 - 2*b*c*cos(A)
9^2 = 6^2 + 14^2 - 2*6*14*cos(A)
81 = 36 + 196 - 168*cos(A)
81 = 232 - 168*cos(A)
81 - 232 = -168*cos(A)
-151 = -168*cos(A)
-168*cos(A) = -151
cos(A) = (-151)/(-168)
cos(A) = 0.8988095
A = arccos(0.8988095)
A = 25.9979801
A = 26 degrees approximately
Let's rewrite the equation as

This should be enough to convince you that the equation has no solutions, no matter which value for k you choose. In fact, the left hand side of the equation is an absolute value, which by definition is always positive, or zero in the worst case.
The equality asks for this quantity to equal -3, a negative number.
A non-negative quantity can never equal a stricktly negative quantity, so the equation has no solutions.
The answer is A, $1.28 You can find this by taking the total amount Shelley spent and dividing it by the total number of avocados she bought.
