In winter, the price of apples suddenly went up by$0.75 per pound. sam bought 3 pounds of apples at the new price for a total of $5.88.
write an equation to determine the original price per pound (p) and then find the original price per pound.

From the information given, the original price per pound was increased by $ 0.75
Let the original price be x, so the new price is x + 0.75

Sam bought 3 pounds of apples at new price and it cost him 5.88

so we form an equation:

3 (x + 0.75) = 5.88

3x + 2.25 = 5.88

3x = 5.88 - 2.25

3x = 3.63

x = 3.63 / 3

x = 1.21

Therefore the original price per pound is 1.21 dollars

look a the sides they are perpendicular

answer: domain and range mean all possible values of x and y that could be substituted to the inequality. a solution means all possible values that make the inequality statement true. so while the range is still all real numbers, the solution is the shaded area, for which y will always be greater than the line of the function.
