Answer:

p = 7

Step-by-step explanation:

(x² + px - 3)(3x - 5)

each term in the second factor is multiplied by each term in the first factor, that is

x²(3x - 5) + px(3x - 5) - 3(3x - 5) ← distribute parenthesis

= 3x³ - 5x² + 3px² - 5px - 9x + 15 ← collect like terms

= 3x³ +x²(3p - 5) - x(5p + 9) + 15

given the coefficient of the x- term is - 44 , then

-(5p + 9) = - 44 ← - (5p + 9) is th coefficient of x in the expansion

- 5p - 9 = - 44 ( add 9 to both sides )

- 5p = - 35 ( divide both sides by - 5 )

p = 7

Please help due by 10:10!!!!!!!!!!
sertanlavr [38]

Answer:

yes

Step-by-step explanation:

distributing gets you 8x+ 12= 2x-2 +6x+14

8x+12=8x+12

when both sides are simplified, they are equal to each other. This means that there IS a value of x that would make the perimeters equal

not sure what the drop down answers are so hope this helps
