The answer is B,
Explanation: I did the math :)
2 + 2 - 1 + 1267788 - 100
Using BODMAS (Order of operations);
We add first:
2 + 2 + 1267788 = 1267792
Secondly we subtract:
-1 - 100 = -101
Finally add the two answers:
1267792 + -101 = 1267691
Factor by grouping. Group up the terms into pairs, factor each pair, then factor out the overall GCF.
x^3 + 2x^2 - 16x - 32
(x^3 + 2x^2) + (-16x-32) ... pair up terms
x^2(x + 2) + (-16x - 32) ... factor x^2 from the first group
x^2(x + 2) - 16(x + 2) ... factor -16 from the second group
(x^2 - 16)(x + 2) .... factor out (x+2)
(x - 4)(x + 4)(x + 2) .... Use the difference of squares to factor x^2-16
---------------------------
The original expression completely factors to (x - 4)(x + 4)(x + 2)
The three factors are x - 4 and x + 4 and x + 2
The property of this equation is associative property
The box has volume
11 in × 3 in × <em>x</em> in = 33<em>x</em> in³
and surface area
2 (11 in × 3 in + 11 in × <em>x</em> in + 3 in × <em>x</em> in) = (66 + 28<em>x</em>) in²
The volume and area have the same value if
33<em>x</em> = 66 + 28<em>x</em>
Solve this equation for <em>x</em> :
33<em>x</em> - 28<em>x</em> = 66
5<em>x</em> = 66
<em>x</em> = 66/5 = 13.2
