Let x = the number of marbles for Phil
Then 3x = the number of marbles for Peter
Together they have 3x+x=48 or 4x=48 and x=12
So Phil has x = 12 marbles and Peter has 3x, let x = 12, 3(12) = 36 marbles.
Peter has 24 more marbles than Phil.
It would be (0 , 2/5) (1 , 7/5) or (2 , 12/5) are any of those an option??

Answer: (x+1)(x+3)</h3>
===================================================
Explanation:
Let's assume it factors into (x+a)(x+b)
The goal is to find the two numbers a and b.
FOIL out (x+a)(x+b) to get x^2+(a+b)x+ab
Note how a+b is the middle term and ab is the last term.
In the original expression, 4 is the middle term and 3 is the last term.
So we need to find two numbers that
There are two ways to multiply to 3 and they are
- 1 times 3 = 3
- -1 times -3 = -3
But only the first way has the factors add to 4. So that means a = 1 and b = 3.
Therefore (x+a)(x+b) = (x+1)(x+3)
And x^2+4x+3 = (x+1)(x+3)
