Answer:

x = 7/12

Step-by-step explanation:

To start, let's distribute the 3 across the 4x and -2 to get 3(4x) + 3(-2) = 1. Now, we multiply to get 12x + (-6) = 1. Next, we get 12x - 6 = 1. Add 6 from both sides to get 12x = 7, and finally, if we divide both sides by 12, we get x = 7/12.

Answer:

3(4x − 2) = 1

4x − 2 = 1/3

4x = 1/3 + 2

4x = 1/3 + 6/3

4x = 7/3

x = 7/12

One of the factors of the polynomial x3 − 5x2 is x + 3. What is the other factor?

olya-2409 [2.1K]

The answer is letter c. x2-8x+24-[72/(x+3)]. If you do not know how to solve this using the long division method, you can always evaluate the options through the process of elimination first. Since the degree of the other factor is already 1 (x to the power of 1), you know that option d. is not the correct answer because you know that the other factor must be raised to the power of 2. That leaves us with a, b and c. Working backwards and multiplying the given factor (x+3) with the factor in b, gives us x3-5x2+72. So from there, you know that you have to eliminate 72, which can be removed when it is subtracted by itself. Letter c does just that. Try multiplying (x+3) and option c for yourself :).

A frog is climbing out of a well that is 11 feet deep. The frog can climb 3 feet per hour but then it rests for an hour, during

Dimas [21]

Answer:

It takes the frog 7 hours to get out of the well.

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that the well is 11 feet deep and the frog can climb 3 feet per hour.

Each time it climbs, it rests for an hour, and decreases its height by 1 foot.

So, if the frog reaches 3 feet in the first hour, then in the next hour it is 2 feet.

Lets calculate with the same pattern:
