The product is equal to zero if one of the factors is equal to zero.

Therefore:

$y=x(x-2)(x+3)\\\\x(x-2)(x+3)=0\iff x=0\ \vee\ x-2=0\ \vee\ x+3=0\\\\\boxed{x=0\ \vee\ x=2\ \vee\ x=-3}$

Three different whole numbers add up to 31.

lubasha [3.4K]

Let's find the least possibilities:

First number: 6
Second number: 8
Third number: 10

6 + 8 + 10 = 24

Now we can see that we are still missing 31 - 24 = 7.

7 can be gained by adding 3 and 4, so:

First number: 6 + 3 = 9
Second number: 8 + 4 = 12
Third number: 10

9 + 12 + 10 = 31

The following triangles are similar. Find x.

AlladinOne [14]

Let's use the line on the right side. In the smaller triangle, the length is 4. The same side on the bigger triangle is 12. The ratio of the smaller triangle to the bigger triangle is:

$\frac{4}{12} \rightarrow 4:12$
