v(t) = 2000 190t
a. Students should recognize that the v terms were not subtracted correctly. Since 5v (+ v) = 5v v = 6v, the right side of the equation should be
3u 6v.
b. Students should recognize that the pattern for the Square of a Sum was not used correctly. The middle term 2(3a)(5b) was omitted. Since (3a + 5b)2
= (3a)2 + 2(3a)(5b) + (5b)2, the right side of the equation should be 9a2 + 30ab + 25b2.

The graph of this system of equations shows the ordered pair that corresponds to weekly sales of $164 and a weekly profit of $52. In order to have a
profit of $52 from magazine and book sales, the store would have to sell 12 books and 16 magazines.
