x³ + 2x² - 9x - 18 = 0
x²(x+2) - 9(x+2) = 0
(x + 2)(x² - 9) = 0
(x + 2)(x - 3)(x + 3) = 0
the answer is d.
Answer: Lesser = 19, Greater = 21
See picture reply.
it's 9 and 15. They are both 3 away from 12

Answer: 9 units</h3>
===================================================
Explanation:
Let's calculate the volume of one small spherical bead
V = (4/3)*pi*r^3
V = (4/3)*pi*3^3
V = 36pi
The volume of 27 such identical beads is 27*36pi = 972pi cubic units.
----------
This is the new volume and we'll use this to find the radius r of the larger sphere.
V = (4/3)*pi*r^3
972pi = (4/3)*pi*r^3
3*972pi = 4pi*r^3
2916pi = 4pi*r^3
r^3 = (2916pi)/(4pi)
r^3 = 729
r = (729)^(1/3)
r = 9 units is the radius of the larger gold sphere
