(x)(3x - 5) = 12
3x^2 - 5x = 12
3x^2 - 5x - 12 = 0
(x - 3)(3x + 4) = 0
x = 3, -4/3
The answer must be negative so the number is -4/3.

Hope this helps!

Find the quotient: (x2−5x+8)÷(x+2)
Aneli [31]

Answer:

Quotient = x - 7

Step-by-step explanation:

We are dividing x^2 - 5x +8 by x + 2

x + 2√x^2 - 5x + 8

Starting with dividing by x

x - 7

x + 2√ x^2 - 5x + 8

Multiplying x by x + 2

x

x + 2√ x^2 - 5x + 8

-

x^2 + 2x

= -7x + 8

Step ii, pick -7 for division

-7x + 8

-

-7x - 14

= +8 -(-14)

= 8+14

= 22

The answer is

( x - 7) remainder 22

(x - 7) is the quointent

22 is the remainder

The football team has 2 large water containers. Each container holds 345π in3 of water. Each player is given a cylindrical water
raketka [301]

Answer:

They'll be able to get 34 bottles from the containers.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the bottles are cylindrical we can calculate their volume by using the following formula:

V = base_area*h

V = \pi*(r^2)*h

r = d/2 = 4/2 = 2 inches

V = 3.14*(2^2)*5 = 3.14*4*5

V = 3.14*20 = 62.8 inches^3

In order to know how many full bottles the players will get we need to divide the total volume of the containers, which is given by the sum of the volume of each container, and divide it by the volume of each bottle. We have:

bottles = (345*pi + 345*pi)/62.8 = 690*pi/62.8 = 2,166.6/62.8 = 34.5

Since the problem wants the amount of full bottles we only take the integer part, so they will be able to get 34 bottles from the containers.

A triangle has a perimeter of 48 feet. If the three sides of the triangle are n, 4n−2, and 4n−4, what is the length of each side
alexdok [17]

Answer:

6; 22; 20 (ft.)

Step-by-step explanation:

1) if the length of the each side are: n; 4n-2 and 4n-4, then the expression of the perimeter can be written: P=n+4n-2+4n-4 or P=9n-6.

2) if according to the condition perimeter is 48 (ft.), then

9n-6=P; ⇔ 9n-6=48; n=6.

3) if n=6, then the required lengths of the sides are:

n=6 (ft.);

4n-2=22 (ft.);

4n-4=20 (ft.)
