Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Eliminate answer 4 immediately, because (4)(3) is not 7.
Look at answer 2: 7x + 3x = 10x, which does not match the middle term 12x in the original polynomial. Eliminate answer 2.
Look at answer 1: 1x + 21x = 22x, which does not match the middle term of the original polynomial. Eliminate answer 1.
All quadratics have solutions. Let's apply the quadratic formula to 3x^2 + 12x + 7: Here a = 3, b = 12 and c = 7, so that the discriminant b²-4ac is
12²-4(3)(7), or 144 - 84, or 60. Being positive, this tells us that the given poly has two real, unequal roots:
-12 ± √60 -12 + 2√15 -12 - 2√15
x = ----------------- = ------------------- and x = --------------------
3 3 3
Normally, if c is a root, then x - c is a factor.
If we try this here, however, the resulting factors do not at all match any of your answer choices.

Answer:
4 hours
Step-by-step explanation:
To solve this question you will simply make a ratio type equation. You know that every 1/6 of an hour, or every 10 minutes, the bucket will fill 1/2 an inch. The bucket is 12 inches tall.
Cross multiply
Convert minutes to inches
Final answer: 4 hours

Answer:
x = -3/2
Step-by-step explanation:
4(x + 3) = 6
4x + 12 = 6
4x = 6 - 12
4x = -6
x = -6/4
x = -3/2
Answer:
5+3a=29
Step-by-step explanation:
let Ella's age be 'a'
Vicki's age=5+2a
sum of their ages= 29
So, the equation is
(5+2a)+a=29
5+3a=29
