the sum of 38 and three times a number is 89

(38+3n) = 89

subtract 38 from each side

3n = 51

divide by 3

n = 17

38+3x=89 is the proper way to write this equation.

Now to solve, first subtract 38 from both sides (38-38 and 89-38)

3x=51

Now divide both sides by 3( 3x/3 and 51/3)

x=17

Two roots of a third degree polynomial function f(x) are –4 and 4. Which statement describes the number and nature of all roots

marta [7]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

A third degree polynomial has a total of three roots, real and imaginary combined.

If it already has 2 real roots, -4 and +4, then it has to have three real roots because imaginary roots come in conjugate pairs, i.e. they come in even numbers.

Julie wants to buy cartons of apple juice with $55. Each carton costs $3.75.
Let x be the number of cartons she can buy.

3.75x =< 55
Divide both sides by 3.75
3.75x / 3.75 =< 55/3.75
x =< 14.66666

Of course, she can't buy 14.666 cartons so we can the integer part only. Julie can buy 14 cartons of Juice.

Hope this helps! :D
