If (x+5) is a factor the equation will equal zero when x=-5 so
3(-5^2)+14(-5)+k=0
75-70+k=0
5+k=0
k=-5
Answer: 7,044.6
Step-by-step explanation:
35223/5 = 7,044.6
Step-by-step explanation:
x = mass of apples
y = mass of strawberries
z = mass of the box
x = 3y
x + z = 16240
y + z = 6350
let's subtract the second from the first equation
x + z = 16240
- y + z = 6350
-----------------------
x - y + 0 = 9890
using the first identity in that result gives us
3y - y = 9890
2y = 9890
y = 4,945 g
x = 3y = 3×4945 = 14,835 g = the mass of the apples
I think the answer is
x < (2b -8) / 3
or
x < 2b/3 - 8/3
