Answer:

x=8

Step-by-step explanation:

48=5(2x-7)+3

Use the distributive property

48=10x-35+3

Combine like terms

48=10x-32

Add 32 to both sides to cancel out the negative 32

80=10x

x=8

Answer:

x = 8

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Write equation

48 = 5(2x - 7) + 3

Step 2: Solve for <em>x</em>

  1. Distribute 5: 48 = 10x - 35 + 3
  2. Combine like terms: 48 = 10x - 32
  3. Add 32 to both sides: 80 = 10x
  4. Divide both sides by 10: 8 = x
  5. Rewrite: x = 8

Step 3: Check

<em>Plug in x to verify it's a solution.</em>

48 = 5(2(8) - 7) + 3

48 = 5(16 - 7) + 3

48 = 5(9) + 3

48 = 45 + 3

48 = 48

mr Goodwill [35]

Total people in the cafeteria = 7 + 48 + 45 = 100

There are 45 boys.

The probability would be the number of boys over the total number of people:

45/100, which simplifies to 9/20

Factor the polynomial completely. 4x3 – 12x2 7x – 21 4x2(x – 3) 7(x – 3) Which is the completely factored polynomial? 4x2(x 4) 3
bixtya [17]

Answer:

  (d)  (4x² +7)(x -3)

Step-by-step explanation:

This polynomial can be factored by factoring pairs of terms.

  = (4x³ -12x²) +(7x -21)

  = 4x²(x -3) +7(x -3)

  = (4x² +7)(x -3)

__

<em>Additional comment</em>

The answer choices suggest we're not interested in irrational or complex factors. The quadratic (4x² +7) could be factored into linear terms involving irrational complex numbers. The form for "difference of squares" would be used for the purpose.
