Cost of bag of soil = x-3 where x is the price of a flower pot
41=3x + 5(x-3)
41=3x + 5x -15
41=8x -15
41+15=8x
56=8x
56÷8=x
$7.00=x
C is your answer.
It contains the proper points and form. A is not in point-slope form and B has the incorrect slope.
ANSWER
D) 10
EXPLANATION
We want to solve the radical equation,

Square both sides,

Expand brackets on right hand side,

Rewrite in general quadratic equation form,

Factor to obtain,

Apply the zero product principle to get,

We put n=2 into the equation to get,


This statement is false, hence 2 is an extraneous solution
We put n=10, to get



This is true, hence the only solution is
3/10n = 4/5
n = (4/5)/(3/10)
n = 4/5 * 10/3
n = 8/3
n = 2 2/3
