Everyday problem solving
at the supermarket, carmine brought 1/2 pound of cherries, 7/8 pound of pears, and 5/8 pound of apples

x = 12

y = 15

step-by-step explanation:

x = ± 6i

step-by-step explanation:

x^2 = -36

take the square root of each side

sqrt(x^2) = sqrt(-36)

we know sqrt(ab) = sqrt(a) sqrt(b)

x = ±sqrt(36) sqrt(-1)

we know that sqrt (-1) = i

x = ± 6i
