27x^3 - 12x factors into

3(9x^3 - 4x) a common factor of three has been taken out.

3x(9x^2 - 4) a common factor of x has been taken out. 3x is not a linear factor.

9x^2 - 4 factors by means of the difference of squares

3x(3x - 2)(3x + 2)

The two linear factors are 3x - 2 and 3x + 2

Jose left the White House and drove toward the recycling plant at an average speed of 40 km/h. Rob left some time later driving

Aleks04 [339]

Let $x$ represent Jose's drived distance and $y$ represent Rob's.
So what you need to do is to solve the equation:
$40x=48*5$
$40x=240$
$x=240/40=6$

So Jose drove for 6 hours before Rob caught him.

(Algebra) What is the lowest common denominator of 3/8x and 5/18x?

attashe74 [19]

Answer: 3/8x

To find the least common denominator first convert all integers and mixed numbers (mixed fractions) into fractions. Then find the lowest common multiple of the denominators. This number is same as the least common denominator .You can then write each term as an equivalent fraction with the same LCD denominator.
