The x-intercepts for the linear factors (x+2) and (x-5) are and .

x-intersect are (0,-2) and (0,5)

Step-by-step explanation:

(x+2) and (x-5) were the factor to the equations.

When we tried to find the x-intercepts, the x- intercepts usually represents points in the x-axis, where y equal to 0.

We set these two factors to equal them 0, and solve for x:

y=x+2               y=x-5

0=x+2              0=x-5

x=-2                 x=5

So the x-intersect are (0,-2) and (0,5)

12 pack of pens for $1.09

m packs =  1.09*m = 1.09m

1 composition book = $2.79

n composition books = 2.79*n = 2.79n

Total cost = (1.09m + 2.79n)

Since there is a discount of 5%, the net price would be: 100% - 5% = 95%

Net Cost = 0.95*(1.09m + 2.79n)

Cindy's bill =    $ 0.95*(1.09m + 2.79n)
