Erik and Caleb were trying to solve the equation: 0=(3x+2)(x-4) Erik said, "The right-hand side is factored, so I'll use the zer

Mumz [18]

Answer:

C) Both

Step-by-step explanation:

The given equation is:

$0=(3x+2)(x-4)$

To solve the given equation, we can use the Zero Product Property according to which if the product A.B = 0, then either A = 0 OR B = 0.

Using this property:

$(3x+2) = 0 \Rightarrow \bold{x = -\frac{2}{3}}\\(x-4) = 0 \Rightarrow \bold{x = 4}$

So, Erik's solution strategy would work.

Now, let us discuss about Caleb's solution strategy:

Multiply $(3x+2)(x-4)$ i.e. $3x^2-12x+2x-8$ = $3x^2-10x-8$

So, the equation becomes:

$0=3x^2-10x-8$

Comparing this equation to standard quadratic equation:

$ax^2+bx+c=0$

a = 3, b = -10, c = -8

So, this can be solved using the quadratic formula.

$x=\dfrac{-b\pm\sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a}$

$x=\dfrac{-(-10)\pm\sqrt{(-10)^2-4\times3 \times (-8)}}{2\times 3}\\x=\dfrac{-(-10)\pm\sqrt{196}}{6}\\x=\dfrac{10\pm14}{6} \\\Rightarrow x= 4, -\dfrac{2}{3}$

The answer is same from both the approaches.

So, the correct answer is:

C) Both

Gabriella and her children went into a grocery store and where they sell apples for $1 each and mangos for $0.50 each. Gabriella

Dafna1 [17]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the number of apples that she wants to buy.

The grocery store sells apples for $1 each and mangos for $0.50 each.

If Gabriella decided to buy 13 mangos, it means that the cost of buying x apples and 13 mangoes is expressed as

x + 13 × 0.5 = x + 6.5

If she buy at least 19 apples, it means that

x + 13 ≥ 19

x ≥ 19 - 13

x ≥ 6

Gabriella has $15 to spend. It means that

x + 6.5 ≤ 15

x ≤ 15 - 6.5

x ≤ 8.5

Therefore, the maximum number of apples that she can buy is 8

Use the three steps to solve the problem. maple syrup worth $6.00 a gallon and corn syrup worth .80 cents a gallon are used to m

Ksenya-84 [330]

Cost of maple syrup = $6.00 a Gallon Cost of corn syrup = 0.80 cents a Gallon Cost of the syrup mixture = $2.36 a Gallon There is mixture of 50 Gallons Lets maple syrup be x gallons, so corn syrup be 50-x gallons Hence, 6*x + 0.80(50-x) = 2.36*50 6x + 40 - 0.8x = 118 5.2x = 78 => x = 78/5.2 => x = 15 So Maple will be syrup be 15 gallons. Corn syrup will be 35 gallons.
