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

vladimir2022 [97]

The number of tiles used is 300 tiles.

According to the statement

We have given that:

The tiles are 20 cm by 30 cm. And the dark room floor is 6 meters by 3 meters.

And we have to find that the number of tiles used to prepare the dark room.

So, For this purpose we have to find the area of the room floor.

The area of the floor is 6 *3.

The area of the floor is 18 meter per square.

The area of the tile is 0.2*0.3

The area of the tile is 0.06 meter per square.

Now,

The number of tiles used is 18/0.06

The number of tiles used is 300.

So, The number of tiles used is 300 tiles.
