A store sells comic books. Each comic book costs the same amount. During a sale, the store reduces the price of each comic book by $1.45. Miguel spends $12.88 on 2 comic books at the sale price

the original price is $7.89

the price on sale is $6.44

i hope this helps

Step-by-step explanation:

divide $12.88 by 2 to get the price of one of those comic books on sale which gives you $6.44

if you want the original price you just add $1.45 to $6.44 and then thats the price before the sale.

x= -3 and

step-by-step explanation:

to find the roots of a cubic, use division or factoring to find the factors then set equal to 0. as this is a difference of cubes, it factors into

where a is the cube root of .

here   this is 27 and the cube root of 27 is 3. so we write using the form:

.

set each factor to 0 and solve for x.

x-3=0

x=3

the quadratic expression does not factor and must be solved using the quadratic formula.

where a = 1, b=3, and c=9

this cubic has two complex roots.
