5x + 3y= 8.50
3x + 2y= 5.25
Lydia is the first equation. She bought 5 pounds of apples which is x and bought 3 pounds of bananas which is y. Basically, remember each banana and apple weighs a price per pound. We don't know the price so we just put an x. This is the same for the second equation
<span>The integer -1 has an absolute value of 1, which is greater than itself. Since all negative integers are by definition integers, their respective absolute values will be greater than themselves.</span>
we have 
which is a cubic function.
and 
.
from f(x) and g(x) we know that both are cubic and g(x) has shrink of 1 and up by 4 units in x axis .
Complex solutions, namely roots with a √(-1) or "i" in it, never come all by their lonesome, because an EVEN root like the square root, can have two roots that will yield the same radicand.
a good example for that will be √(4), well, (2)(2) is 4, so 2 is a root, but (-2)(-2) is also 4, therefore -2 is also a root, so you'd always get a pair of valid roots from an even root, like 2 or 4 or 6 and so on.
therefore, complex solutions or roots are never by their lonesome, their sister the conjugate is always with them, so if there's a root a + bi, her sister a - bi is also coming along too.
if complex solutions come in pairs, well, clearly a cubic equation can't yield 3 only.
