Answer:

(3)(x+7)(x-1)

Step-by-step explanation:

3x^2+18x-21

Let's start by taking 3 out of the equation.

3(x^2+6x-7)

Now, when we factor, we need to find two numbers that add up to 6 and multiply to -7.

The numbers would be 7 and -1.

So the factored form of this would be:

(3)(x+7)(x-1)

Three people invest in a treasure dive, each investing the amount listed below. The dive results in 40 gold coins. Apportion tho

garri49 [273]

Answer:

Alice: 20 coins, Ben: 16 coins, and Carlos: 4 coins.

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that the dive results in 40 gold coins.

We know that:

Alice: $7,600 Ben: $5,900 Carlos: $1,400.

So they have $ 14900 in total.

Now we will divide that money by 40.

$x=\frac{14900}{40}\\\\x=372.5$

So 1 gold coin costs $ 372.5. Now we will calculate how much they can get for the money they have.

$A=\frac{7600}{372.5}=20.4\\\\B=\frac{5900}{372.5}=15.8\\\\C=\frac{1400}{372.5}=3.75\\$

We conclude that:

Alice: 20 coins, Ben: 16 coins, and Carlos: 4 coins.

The coordinates of the endpoints of directed line sergeant ABC are A(-8,7) and C(7,-13). If AB:BC = 3:2 then the coordinates of

cestrela7 [59]

The correct answer is A) (1,-5)

Further explanation:

Given points are:

A(-8,7)=(x1,y1)

C(7,13)=(x2,y2)

IT is also given that

AB:BC=3:2

Which means that B divides the line segment in 3:2

Here,

m=3

n=2

To find the coordinates of B

$x_B=\frac{mx_2+nx_1}{m+n}\\ = \frac{(3)(7)+(2)(-8)}{3+2}\\=\frac{21-16}{5}\\=\frac{5}{5}\\=1\\y_B=\frac{my_2+ny_1}{m+n}\\=\frac{(3)(-13)+(2)(7)}{3+2}\\=\frac{-39+14}{5}\\=\frac{-25}{5}\\=-5$

The coordinates of point B are (1,-5)

The correct answer is A) (1,-5)
