0.035x+0.045x=427.50
0.08x=427.50
x=427.50/0.08
x=5343.75
x+x+1500=5343.75
2x=5343.75-1500
2x=3843.75
x=1921.88 first
1921.88+1500=3421.88 second
The correct answer is b) y=3x-2
If x = 3 is a solution, (x - 3) is a factor of f(x).
2x³ + x² - 25x + 12 ÷ (x - 3) [by long division] = 2x² + 7x - 4
so f(x) = (x - 3)(2x² + 7x - 4)
f(x) = (x - 3)(2x - 1)(x + 4)
so 'zeros', or more correctly solutions, are: x = 3, x = 1/2 and x = -4.
[by setting each of the factors equal to 0 and solving for x].
