C. If the first coefficient is negative, then the graph opens downwards
a) We have that the discount is 65 %
Scott buys a jacket for $150
First, we will calculate the discount

then we need to subtract the quantity calculated above from the original price

After the markdown Scott paid $52.5
b.
In order to know the taxes first, we need to calculate the 5% of $52.5

then we will sum the 5% plus the price after the markdown

The total cost of the jacket is $55.125
Option D: Two irrational solutions
Explanation:
The equation is 
Subtracting 6x from both sides, we have,

Solving the equation using quadratic formula,

Simplifying the expression, we get,

Taking out the common terms and simplifying, we have,

Dividing by 3, we get,

Hence, the equation has two irrational solutions.
