Round 23 to 24 and half it (12) since its rounded up minus 3 (minus 2 if rounded down) = 9

12 + 2 = 14

9 dogs
14 cats

Explanation:
Given:
x
3
+
14
x
2
+
60
x
+
72
=
0

By the rational roots theorem, any rational zeros of the given cubic are expressible in the form
p
q
for integers
p
,
q
with
p
a divisor of the constant term
72
and
q
a divisor of the coefficient
1
of the leading term.
That means that the only possible rational zeros are:
±
1
,
±
2
,
±
3
,
±
4
,
±
6
,
±
8
,
±
9
,
±
12
,
±
18
,
±
24
,
±
36
,
±
72
In addition, note that all of the coefficients are positive and the constant term is non-zero. As a result, any real zero (rational or otherwise) of this cubic must be negative.
So that leaves rational possibilities:
−

−
2
,

3
,
−
4
,
−
6
,
−
8
,
−
9
,
−
12
,
−
18
,
−
24
,
−
36
,
−
72
We find:

(

)

=

+

−
120
+
72
=
0
So
x
=
−
2
is a zero and
(
x
+
2
)
a factor:
x
3
+
14
x
2
+
60
+
72
=
(
x
+
2
)
(
x
2
+
12
x
+
36
)
Without trying any more of our "possible" zeros, we can recognise the remaining quadratic factor as a perfect square trinomial:
x
2
+
12
x
+
36
=
x
2
+
2
(
x
)
(
6
)
+
6
2
=
(
x
+
6
)
2
So the factored form of the given cubic equation can be written:
(
x
+
2
)
(
x
+
6
)
2
=
0

How do you find the other angle of an alternate interior angle if one angle is 70
Elena L [17]
Well alternate angles are congruent, so that means they would both have the same measurement.
If you’re talking about equations with an angle then make the equations equal each other and solve. :)
