1) Let's look at what we know and Create an equation:

Perimeter: 6x

Side A: x + 3

Side B: 2x + 4

Side C (Unknown): Let's call this 'a'.

Because you find the perimeter of a figure by adding the lengths of all its sides together, our equation would be (the parentheses are only there to help you visualize):

(X + 3) + (2x +4) + (a) = 6x

(Side A+Side B+Side C = Perimeter)

2) From here, we combine like terms:

3x + 7 + a = 6x

3) Isolate the variable in which we are solving for (a):

<u>a = 3x - 7</u>

Since we cannot simplify any further, the length of the missing side is <u>3x - 7</u>.

A swimming pool charges $6 for adults and $4 for children. On a particular day, they made $1,326 in admissions. If a total of 28
muminat
X= # of adults
y= # of children

1326= 6x + 4y
289= x + y

We are going to do substitution.

x = 289-y
1326= 6(289-y) + 4y
1326= 1734 -6y + 4y
1326= 1734 + -2y
-408= -2y
204 = y

Since we now have a value for y, we should plug that back into the equation we got the x value from to find the actual numerical value of x.

289= x + y
289= x + 204
85= x

In conclusion, 85 adults and 204 adults went to the swimming pool.

Which function has zeros of -8,1, and 3
grin007 [14]

Answer:

A

Step-by-step explanation:

The zeros of a polynomial function are found by factoring in the form

a(x - r1)(x - r2)(x - r3) ... = 0, where each 'r-something' is a root (or solution) and 'a' is the leading coefficient.

Like if we have 3x² - 3x - 6 = 0

Factoring it as 3(x-2)(x + 1) = 0 shows the roots are 2 and -1.

And sine the right side is zero, we can even drop the factor of 3 on the left, and still have an equivalent equation (has same answers).

(x-2)(x + 1) = 0

The reason this works is because each factor in parentheses adds up to zero, creating a factor of zero in what is being multiplied on the left. And we know that if you have a series of factors in a product, and any one of those factors is zero, the whole product must be zero. So what is on the left equals the zero on the right, making the equation true.
