Answer: He bought 7 pounds of chicken and 5 pounds of beef

Step-by-step explanation: We shall start by assigning letters to the unknown variables. Hence, let b represent a pound of beef and let c represent a pound of chicken. If Bennett bought a total of 12 pounds of meat, then we can express this as

b + c = 12

Then if he spent a total of $63.7 on both types of meat, we can write it out as

6.3b + 4.6c = 63.7

We now have a pair of simultaneous equations, which are

b + c = 12 --------(1)

6.3b + 4.6c = 63.7 --------(2)

In equation (1) we shall make b the subject of the equation

b = 12 - c

We now substitute for the value of b into equation (2)

6.3(12 - c) + 4.6c = 63.7

75.6 - 6.3c + 4.6c = 63.7

We collect like terms and we now have

-1.7c = -11.9

Divide both sides of the equation by -1.7

c = 7.

Having found the value of c, we can now substitute for the value of c into equation (1)

b + c = 12

b + 7 = 12

Subtract 7 from both sides of the equation

b = 5.

Therefore, Bennett purchased 7 pounds of chicken and 5 pounds of beef.

Which of the following is a like radical to RootIndex 3 StartRoot 7x EndRoot?
lana [24]

Answer:

A. 4 (RootIndex 3 StartRoot 7 x EndRoot)  or 4(\sqrt[3]{7x})

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

A radical whose value is, r_1=\sqrt[3]{7x}

Now, we need to find the like radical for r_1.

Let the like radical be r_2.

As per the definition of like radicals, like radicals are those that can be expressed as multiples of each other.

So, if two radicals r_1\ and\ r_2 are like radicals, then

r_1 = n \times r_2&#10;

Where, 'n' is a real number.

Here, r_1=\sqrt[3]{7x}

Now, let us check all the options .

Option A:

4 (RootIndex 3 StartRoot 7 x EndRoot) or r_2=4\sqrt[3]{7x}

Now, we observe that r_2 is a multiple of r_1 because

r_2=4\times \sqrt[3]{7x}\\\\ r_2=4\times r_1..............(r_1=\sqrt[3]{7x})

Therefore, option A is correct.

Option B:

StartRoot 7 x EndRoot or r_2=\sqrt{7x}

As the above radical is square root and not a cubic root, this option is incorrect.

Option C:

x (RootIndex 3 StartRoot 7 EndRoot) or r_2=x\sqrt[3]{7}

As the term inside the cubic root is not same as that of r_1, this option is also incorrect.

Option D:

7 StartRoot x EndRoot or r_2=7\sqrt{x}

As the above radical is square root and not a cubic root, this option is incorrect.

Therefore, the like radical is option (A) only.

Which of the following is the correct factorization of the polynomial below?
Finger [1]

Step-by-step explanation:

(x+3)(x-5)

= x²-5x+3x-15 = x²-2x-15

But the given polynomial x³-15

So it is not the correct factorization.

Again, (x-3)(x+5)

= x²+2x-15

But the given polynomial x³-15

So it is not the correct factorization.

Again , (x+3)(x²-4x+5)

= x³-4x²+5x+3x²-12x+15

= x³-x²-7x+15

But the given polynomial x³-15

So it is not the correct factorization.

So , optionD is the correct answer
