Work out 3/8 of 48.
First of all divide 48 by the denominator:
48 ÷ 8 = 6 (this gives 1/8 of 48)
Now multiply this answer by the numerator:
6 × 3 = 18 (this gives 3/8 of 48)
I think d but i might be wrong :( sorry
Answer:
(x+1)(2x+5)
Step-by-step explanation:
f(x) = 2x² + 7x + 5
Factor the expression by grouping. First, the expression needs to be rewritten as 2x²+ax+bx+5. To find a and b, set up a system to be solved.
a+b=7
ab=2×5=10
Since ab is positive, a and b have the same sign. Since a+b is positive, a and b are both positive. List all such integer pairs that give product 10.
1,10
2,5
Calculate the sum for each pair.
1+10=11
2+5=7
The solution is the pair that gives sum 7.
a=2
b=5
2x²+7x+5 as (2x²+2x)+(5x+5).
(2x²+2x)+(5x+5)
Factor out 2x in the first and 5 in the second group.
2x(x+1)+5(x+1)
Factor out common term x+1 by using distributive property.
(x+1)(2x+5)
Answer: There are 75 books.
Price of each book = $4.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x = Number of books in the box.
Then as per given,
Cost of x books = $300
Cost of one book = 
Books left after giving 15 of them = x-15
Selling price of (x-15) books= $330
Selling price of one book = 
Profit on each book= $1.50
Profit = selling price - cost price
![\Rightarrow 1.50=\dfrac{330}{x-15}-\dfrac{300}{x}\\\\\Rightarrow\ 1.50=\dfrac{330(x)-300(x-15)}{x(x-15)}\\\\\Rightarrow\ 1.50=\dfrac{330x-300x+4500}{x^2-15x}\\\\\Rightarrow\ 1.50(x^2-15x)=30x+4500\\\\\Rightarrow\ 1.50x^2-22.5x=30x+4500\\\\\Rightarrow\ 1.50x^2-52.5x-4500=0\\\\\Rightarrow\ 1.50x^2-52.5x-4500=0\\\\\Rightarrow\ x^2-25x-3000=0\ \ [\text{divide by 1.5}]](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5CRightarrow%201.50%3D%5Cdfrac%7B330%7D%7Bx-15%7D-%5Cdfrac%7B300%7D%7Bx%7D%5C%5C%5C%5C%5CRightarrow%5C%201.50%3D%5Cdfrac%7B330%28x%29-300%28x-15%29%7D%7Bx%28x-15%29%7D%5C%5C%5C%5C%5CRightarrow%5C%201.50%3D%5Cdfrac%7B330x-300x%2B4500%7D%7Bx%5E2-15x%7D%5C%5C%5C%5C%5CRightarrow%5C%201.50%28x%5E2-15x%29%3D30x%2B4500%5C%5C%5C%5C%5CRightarrow%5C%201.50x%5E2-22.5x%3D30x%2B4500%5C%5C%5C%5C%5CRightarrow%5C%201.50x%5E2-52.5x-4500%3D0%5C%5C%5C%5C%5CRightarrow%5C%201.50x%5E2-52.5x-4500%3D0%5C%5C%5C%5C%5CRightarrow%5C%20x%5E2-25x-3000%3D0%5C%20%5C%20%5B%5Ctext%7Bdivide%20by%201.5%7D%5D)
Number of books cannot be negative.
So, there are 75 books.
Price of each book = 
So price of each book = $4.
