Note that,

9x^2+24x+20=4\Longrightarrow9x^2+24x+16

Which factors to,

(3x+4)^2=0\Longrightarrow3x+4=0

And simplifies to <u>solution C</u>,

\boxed{x=-\dfrac{4}{3}}

Hope this helps.

Any additional questions please feel free to ask.

Answer:

\large\boxed{C.\ x=-\dfrac{4}{3}}

Step-by-step explanation:

9x^2+24x+20=4\qquad\text{subtract 4 from both sides}\\\\9x^2+12x+12x+16=0\\\\3x(3x+4)+4(3x+4)=0\\\\(3x+4)(3x+4)=0\\\\(3x+4)^2=0\iff3x+4=0\qquad\text{subtract 4 from both sides}\\\\3x=-4\qquad\text{divide both sides by 3}\\\\x=-\dfrac{4}{3}

If p q r is prime numbers such that pq+r=73, what is the least possible value of p+q+r
Jobisdone [24]
The answer to this question would be: p+q+r = 2 + 17 + 39= 58

In this question, p q r is a prime number. Most of the prime number is an odd number. If p q r all odd number, it wouldn't be possible to get 73 since
odd x odd + odd= odd + odd = even
Since 73 is an odd number, it is clear that one of the p q r needs to be an even number. 

There is only one odd prime number which is 2. If you put 2 in the r the result would be:
pq+2= 73
pq= 71
There will be no solution for pq since 71 is prime number. That mean 2 must be either p or q. Let say that 2 is p, then the equation would be: 2q + r= 73

The least possible value of p+q+r would be achieved by founding the highest q since its coefficient is 2 times r. Maximum q would be 73/2= 36.5 so you can try backward from that. Since q= 31, q=29, q=23 and q=19 wouldn't result in a prime number r, the least result would be q=17
r= 73-2q
r= 73- 2(17)
r= 73-34=39

p+q+r = 2 + 17 + 39= 58

A cereal mixture contains almond, wheat and corn in the ratio of 3:5:7. What amount of this mixture contains 9 kg of almond?
kirza4 [7]

Answer:

45 Kg of the of this mixture contains 9 kg of almond

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

The ratio of  almond, wheat and corn = 3:5:7.

To Find:

Amount of this mixture contains 9 kg of almond =?

Solution:

The total of  the fraction = 3+5+7  = 15

Let the total amount of the mixture be X, then

Then

\frac{ \text{ratio of the almond in the mixture}}{\text{total ratio}}  \times X = 9

\frac{3}{15} \times  X  = 9

X = 9 \times \frac{15}{3}

X = 9 \times 5

X =  45
