17 doz * $8 = $136.
For each $8 dozen replaced by a $15 dozen, the total price increases $7.
192 - 136 = 56
56/7 = 8
--> 9 of the $8, and 8 of the $15

Solved by pluggable solver: SOLVE quadratic equation (work shown, graph etc)
Quadratic equation ax%5E2%2Bbx%2Bc=0 (in our case 3x%5E2%2B-5x%2B-7+=+0) has the following solutons:

x%5B12%5D+=+%28b%2B-sqrt%28+b%5E2-4ac+%29%29%2F2%5Ca

For these solutions to exist, the discriminant b%5E2-4ac should not be a negative number.

First, we need to compute the discriminant b%5E2-4ac: b%5E2-4ac=%28-5%29%5E2-4%2A3%2A-7=109.

Discriminant d=109 is greater than zero. That means that there are two solutions: +x%5B12%5D+=+%28--5%2B-sqrt%28+109+%29%29%2F2%5Ca.

x%5B1%5D+=+%28-%28-5%29%2Bsqrt%28+109+%29%29%2F2%5C3+=+2.57338441815176
x%5B2%5D+=+%28-%28-5%29-sqrt%28+109+%29%29%2F2%5C3+=+-0.906717751485092

Quadratic expression 3x%5E2%2B-5x%2B-7 can be factored:
3x%5E2%2B-5x%2B-7+=+%28x-2.57338441815176%29%2A%28x--0.906717751485092%29
Again, the answer is: 2.57338441815176, -0.906717751485092. Here's your graph:
graph%28+500%2C+500%2C+-10%2C+10%2C+-20%2C+20%2C+3%2Ax%5E2%2B-5%2Ax%2B-7+%29

The y-axis is the cost, and the x-axis is the # of hours labor.

The y-intercept is the "base cost" or $60 for parts.
The slope is 40, and is the $ per hour for labor.

x%5B12%5D+=+%28b%2B-sqrt%28+b%5E2-4ac+%29%29%2F2%5Ca

For these solutions to exist, the discriminant b%5E2-4ac should not be a negative number.

First, we need to compute the discriminant b%5E2-4ac: b%5E2-4ac=%28-18%29%5E2-4%2A1%2A-2=332.

Discriminant d=332 is greater than zero. That means that there are two solutions: +x%5B12%5D+=+%28--18%2B-sqrt%28+332+%29%29%2F2%5Ca.

x%5B1%5D+=+%28-%28-18%29%2Bsqrt%28+332+%29%29%2F2%5C1+=+18.1104335791443
x%5B2%5D+=+%28-%28-18%29-sqrt%28+332+%29%29%2F2%5C1+=+-0.110433579144299

Quadratic expression 1x%5E2%2B-18x%2B-2 can be factored:
1x%5E2%2B-18x%2B-2+=+%28x-18.1104335791443%29%2A%28x--0.110433579144299%29
Again, the answer is: 18.1104335791443, -0.110433579144299. Here's your graph:
graph%28+500%2C+500%2C+-10%2C+10%2C+-20%2C+20%2C+1%2Ax%5E2%2B-18%2Ax%2B-2+%29

--------------
w^2 = 9 ± sqrt(83)
w+=+sqrt%289+%2B+sqrt%2883%29%29 =~ 18.1104
w+=+sqrt%289+-+sqrt%2883%29%29 =~ 0.1104
w+=+-sqrt%289+%2B+sqrt%2883%29%29 =~ -18.1104
w+=+-sqrt%289+-+sqrt%2883%29%29 =~ -0.1104

If an object is in free fall, the sequence 16, 48, 80, ... represents the distance in feet that the object falls during the first second, during the second second, during the third second, and so on. How far will the object fall during the first 6 seconds?
-----------------
s+=+at%5E2%2F2
16 = a/2 --> a = 32
48 = a*4/2 = 2a --> a = 24
80 = a*9/2 = 4.5a --> a = 32
The acceleration is not constant, so no solution is possible without additional info.
-------------
If the 2nd entry is 64 instead of 48, then the acceleration would be 32 ft/sec/sec, which is apx the Earth's gravitational acceleration.
Then for 6 seconds s = 16*36/2 = 288 feet.

It is a parabola, no matter what anyone does.
--------------
To find the y-intercept, set x = 0
--> (0,-3)
------------
The x-intercepts are the solutions, the zeroes.

An infinite number.
In 3-space, a plane can be "drawn" perpendicular to a line at any point.
---------------------------
The line would be normal to the plane, not just perpendicular.

The 2nd eqn is -1 times the first.
That makes it dependent --> an infinite # of solutions.

If you graph it, you get the same line twice, and every point on the line is a solution.

How far away, in km, is an airplane measured by a radar wave that that takes 9.36 x 10^-4 s to go and return to the radar unit that is measuring the distance? Express your answer to the nearest km.
-----------------
You didn't give the speed of the radar beam, so I'll assume 300,000 km/sec
-----------
If the roundtrip takes 9.36E-4 seconds, it takes 1/2 that to get to the airplane, = 4.68E-4 seconds
-----------
3E5 km/sec * 4.68E-4 sec = 14.04E1 km
=~ 140 km

2x+3y=15
8x+12y=40 --> 2x + 3y = 10
---------------
The 1st eqn says 2x+3y = 15, the 2nd says it = 10.
It can't be both, so there's no solution, meaning there's no x&y that fit both equations.
If you graph these, you get 2 parallel lines. No intersection, no solution.
-----------
Using elimination methods:
2x+3y=15
2x+3y=10
--------- Subtract
0 = 5 It's obvious something's not right --> no solution

find the equation of the bisector of the acute angles and also the equation of the obtuse angles formed by the lines 7x-2y=4 and 3x+5y=15.
--------------------
Find the slope of each line:
7x-2y = 4, m = 7/2
3x+5y =15, m = -3/5
--------------------
The slope is the tangent of the angle with the x-axis, so the arctan(m) is the angle.
Add the 2 angles, and divide by 2 --> the angle of the bisector.
Angle of bisector = (arctan(7/2) + arctan(-3/5))/2 = 21.5454 degs
The slope is the tangent, m = 0.3948
--------------------------------------
Find the intersection of the lines 7x-2y=4 and 3x+5y=15.
It's (50/41,93/41) or (1.2195,2.2683)
-----------------------
Use the point and y = mx+b to find b
2.2683 = 0.3948*1.2195 + b
b = 1.7868
Equation of the bisector: y = 0.3948x + 1.7868
-------------------------
I don't what you mean by "the equation of the obtuse angles"
