Let x=the cost of the sweaters.

8x+40=320.

Isolate the 8x.

320-40=280.

8x=280

280/8=35. Each sweater cost 35 D0llaz

Hello,

P(x)=x^3+2x²-23x-60
P(-4)=(-4)^3+2*(-4)²-23*(-4)-60=0
P(-3)=(-3)^4+2*(-3)²-23*(-3)-60=0
P(5)=5^3+2*5²-23*5-60=0
Zeros are -4,-3,5

I would appreciate if you answered!

Answer:

None of those options

Step-by-step explanation:

I just did the work myself and even ran it through a calculator but the correct answer isn't one of those options. Here's my work:

$-\frac{5}{6} =z+\frac{1}{8}\\-\frac{5}{8}-\frac{1}{8}=z\\-\frac{40}{48}-\frac{6}{48}=z\\-\frac{46}{48}=z\\-\frac{23}{24}$

I'd contact you teacher about that...it might be an error in their system (it's happened to me a few times before where the correct answer is marked as incorrect or isn't even an option)

Vince bought 6 boxes of worms to use as bait while fishing with his friends. If each person uses exactly 3/8 of a box of worms,

tia_tia [17]

We are given the following information:

<em />

<em>each person uses 3/8 a box</em>

<em>there are 6 boxes</em>

Because each box is $\frac{8}{8}$ , and there are 6 boxes, we know that 1 person is $\frac{3}{8*6}$ , or $\frac{3}{48}$ .

In order to find how many people can use the 6 boxes, we can divide it by 3 (for each use):

48 / 3 = 16

Therefore, 16 people can share the worms.

<em>Hope this helps! :)</em>
