Water that weighs 325 lbs will fill 5.2 cubic feet.

Step-by-step explanation:

This is a simple question of cross multiplication

DATA:

1. The weight of water for 1 cubic feet is 62.5

2. The weight of water for 'X' cubic feet is 325

3. To find x, form an equation:

Cubic feet : Weight of water

1 : 62.5

X : 325

4. Cross multiply

X x 62.5 = 1 x 325

62.5X = 325

5. Make X the subject

X = $\frac{325}{62.5}$

6. Solve to find X

X = 5.2 cubic feet

Therefore, water that weighs 325 lbs will fill 5.2 cubic feet.

likoan [24]

Answer:

70.69

Step-by-step explanation:

46 2/3 divided by 2/3

46.66 divided by 0.66

The anwser is 70.69

If the cook makes twice as much beef then the number of hamburgers would be two times larger which would be 141.39.

Half as much beef would be 70.69 divided by two which is 35.34.

P(x)= 3x^3-5x^2-14x-4

nexus9112 [7]

$\displaystyle\\
P(x)=3x^3-5x^2-14x-4\\\\
D_{-4}=\{-4;~-2;~\underline{\bf -1};~1;~2;~4\}\\\\
\text{We observe that } \frac{-1}{3} \text{ is a solution of the equation:}\\
3x^3-5x^2-14x-4=0\\\\
$

$\displaystyle\\
\text{Verification}\\\\
3x^3-5x^2-14x-4=\\\\
=3\times\Big(-\frac{1}{3}\Big)^3-5\times\Big(-\frac{1}{3}\Big)^2-14\times\Big(-\frac{1}{3}\Big)-4=\\\\
=-\frac{1}{9}-\frac{5}{9}+\frac{14}{3}-4=\\\\
=-\frac{6}{9}+\frac{14}{3}-4=\\\\
=-\frac{6}{9}+\frac{42}{9}- \frac{4\times 9}{9}=\\\\
 =-\frac{6}{9}+\frac{42}{9}- \frac{36}{9}= \frac{42-6-36}{9}=\frac{42-42}{9}=\frac{0}{9}=0\\\\
\Longrightarrow~~~P(x)~\vdots~\Big(x+ \frac{1}{3}\Big)\\\\
\Longrightarrow~~~P(x)~\vdots~(3x+1)$

$\displaystyle\\
3x^3-5x^2-14x-4=0\\
~~~~~-5x^2 = x^2 - 6x^2\\
~~~~~-14x =-2x-12x \\
3x^3+x^2 - 6x^2-2x-12x-4=0\\
x^2(3x+1)-2x(3x+1) -4(3x+1)=0\\
(3x+1)(x^2-2x -4)=0\\\\
\text{Solve: } x^2-2x -4=0\\\\
x_{12}= \frac{-b\pm \sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a}=\\\\=\frac{2\pm \sqrt{4+16}}{2}=\frac{2\pm \sqrt{20}}{2}=\frac{2\pm 2\sqrt{5}}{2}=1\pm\sqrt{5}\\\\
x_1 =1+\sqrt{5}\\
x_2 =1-\sqrt{5}\\
\Longrightarrow P(x)= 3x^3-5x^2-14x-4 =\boxed{(3x+1)(x-1-\sqrt{5})(x-1+\sqrt{5})}$

Simplify the following expression by combining like terms and factoring. 2(x-6)+4(2x+1)+3

Shkiper50 [21]

Answer:

5(2x - 1)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

2(x - 6) + 4(2x + 1) + 3 ← distribute both parenthesis

= 2x - 12 + 8x + 4 + 3 ← collect like terms

= (2x + 8x) + (- 12 + 4 + 3)

= 10x + (- 5)

= 10x - 5 ← factor out 5 from each term

= 5(2x - 1) ← in factored form
