X(x+9)(x-1) = 72
lets expand the equation:
(x^2 + 9x)(x - 1) = 72
x^3 - x^2 + 9x^2 - 9x - 72 = 0
x^3 + 8x^2 - 9x - 72 = 0
and factorize again:
x^2(x + 8) - 9(x + 8) = 0
(x + 8)(x^2 - 9) = 0
that is:
(x + 8<span>)(x + 3)(x - 3) = 0
</span>double check that x^2 - 9 = (x + 3)(x - 3<span>), that is a subtraction of squares easily factorizable:
So we have:
</span>(x + 8<span>)(x + 3)(x - 3) = 0
</span>which solutions are:
x = -8, x = -3, x = 3

sineoko [7]

Answer:

11.5 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

25 pages every 75 minutes (1 1/4)

Thats means 1 page every 3 minutes (divide 25 and 75 by 25 to get this)

230 pages would mean 690 minutes (times the 3 by 230)

690/6 = 11.5

Liula [17]
 Arguably, all of them are at least somewhat biased, but the most biased would be <span>surveying people 15 to 20 years old leaving a concert </span>  because being at a concert would be highly correlated with liking the type of music played at that concert.
