Answer:

-3x^2-21x+24

Step-by-step explanation:

Kindly separate the answer choices: (x - 4), (x + 1), (x + 4) , (x - 1). The trinomial is thus -3x^2-21x+24, which can be factored as follows: -3(x^2 + 7x - 8)

Then we have -3x^2-21x+24 = -3(x^2 + 7x - 8), which factors further into:

-3(x + 8)(x -1) and so we conclude that the only binomial that is a factor of

-3x^2-21x+24 is (x - 1).

Ming wants to make a 40% sugar solution. She had already poured 3 L of a 80% sugar solution into a beaker. How many L of a 10% s

jeyben [28]

Answer:

Ming must add 0.375 L of a 10% sugar solution

Step-by-step explanation:

if 3 L = 80%

1.5 L should = 40% (since it is half of 80%)

and if 40 divided by 4 = 10%

1.5 also needs to be divided by 4

so 1.5 divided by 4 = 0.375

that means Ming must add 0.375 L of a 10% sugar solution
