Answer:
3×5×53
Step-by-step explanation:
You can use divisibility rules to find the small prime factors.
The number ends in 5, so is divisible by 5.
795/5 = 159
The sum of digits is 1+5+9 = 15; 1+5 = 6, a number divisible by 3, so 3 is a factor.
159/3 = 53 . . . . . a prime number,* so we're done.
795 = 3×5×53
_____
* If this were not prime, it would be divisible by a prime less than its square root. √53 ≈ 7.3. We know it is not divisible by 2, 3, or 5. We also know the closest multiples of 7 are 49 and 56, so it is not divisible by 7. Hence 53 is prime.
Assuming you typed this correctly, and how you wanted it, then the answer(s) would be x=3, or x=8. Both answers are correct. If it were multiple choice, then the answer would look something like: X=3 or 8.
If you meant 2x, then the answer would be x=8/3. This is a fraction
Answer: is (B) 1,500 cubic yards
