Answer:

b=5

Step-by-step explanation:

−4+bx=2x+3(x+1)  (expand parenthesis first, i.e PEDMAS)

−4 + bx = 2x + 3x + 3

−4 + bx = 5x + 3   (move all x terms to one side and constants to another)

5x - bx = - 4 -3

5x - bx = - 7  (factor out x)

(5 - b)x = - 7

x = -7 / (5-b)

we can see that 5-b is in the denominator. Recall that for a fraction, the denominator cannot be zero otherwise the expression is undefined. (i.e no solutions)

hence the  expression is undefined if,

(5-b) = 0

or b = 5

B.  280 g of copper.

Step-by-step explanation:

100 grams of brass

20 grams of zinc

100 grams of brass has 20 grams of Zn.

20/100 = 0.200  Zn   <u>20% Zn  and 80% copper</u>.

A.  (60 g brass)*(0.2) = 12 grams Zn

B.  (350 g brass)*(0.80) = 280 g of copper.

aivan3 [116]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

In the 3rd question, we are given the equation x ^ 3 + x ^ 2 + 2x + 24. One of the factors is x + 3. Now, we can use long division to find that the equation we have left is x^2 - 2x - 8. We can just factor this to get (x - 4) (x + 2). In the 3rd question, possible factors for the coefficient are 1, 2, -1, -2. Possible factors for the constant are 1, 7, -1, -7. Now, we can try out all of them. The possible factors are 1, 7, -1, -7, 2, 14, -2, -14.
