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

If △STU is similar to △XYZ, the sides of △STU must be congruent to thecorresponding sides of △XYZ.A. TrueB. False
katovenus [111]

Similar triangles are triangles that have the same interior angles and the corresponding sides are proportional, that is, for triangles STU and XYZ we have the proportion:

\frac{ST}{XY}=\frac{TU}{YZ}=\frac{SU}{XZ}

The corresponding sides are congruent only if the proportion rate is 1, but that is not always true and it's not necessary.

Therefore the correct option is B: False

If the corresponding sides are congruent, the triangles are congruent.

A grocery store sells salmon fillets in package that contains at least 3 fillets of salmon,but no more than 5.which of the follo
34kurt

Answer: 18 ≤ 6*S ≤ 30

Where S is the number of salmon fillets in one single package.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's define S as the number of salmon fillets in one package.

We know that it contains at least 3, and no more than 5, then we can write:

3 ≤ S ≤ 5

Now we want to know the total number of salmon fillets that could be on 6 packages, then if S is the number of salmon fillets in one package, 6*S will e the number of salmon fillets in 6 packages.

We can find this by multiplying the inequality:

3 ≤ S ≤ 5

by 6.

We get:

6*3 ≤ 6*S ≤ 6*5

18 ≤ 6*S ≤ 30

Then in 6 packages, we could have any number between 18 and 30 fillets of salmon.
