Answer:
c) (3-7x^2)(x-3)
Step-by-step explanation:
-7x^3+21x^2+3x-9
Factor out a -7x^2 from the first two terms and a 3 from the last two terms
-7x^2 (x -3) +3(x-3)
Now factor out (x-3)
(x-3) (-7x^2+3)
Rearranging)
(x-3) (3-7x^2)
Answer: 14
<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>
Consecutive even numbers would be {2, 4, 6, 8, 10, ...}
Let x represent the smallest number, then x + 2 is the middle number and x + 4 is the largest number.
1st number: x
2nd number: x + 2
3rd number: x + 4
1st number + 2nd number + 3rd number = Sum
(x) + (x + 2) + (x + 4) = 48
3x + 6 = 48
3x = 42
x = 14
1st number: x ⇒ x = 14
2nd number: x + 2 ⇒ 14 + 2 = 16
3rd number: x + 4 ⇒ 14 + 4 = 18
<u>Check:</u>
14 + 16 + 18 = 48 
Answer:
correct answer is 16. hope that helps
Answer:
<u>Cost = 25 + 50h</u>
cost for 8 hours of work = $425
cost for 10 hours of work = $525
Step-by-step explanation:
The question is as following:
A plumber charges $25 for a service call plus $50 per hour of service write an equation to represent the cost of hiring this plumber.
what will be the cost for 8 hours of work? 10 hours of work?
=======================================================
A plumber charges $25 for a service call plus $50 per hour
<u>Cost = 25 + 50h</u>
Where h is the number of hours of service
8 hours of work: h = 8
Substitute with h = 8 at the equation of cost
<u>Cost = 25 + 50* 8 = $425</u>
10 hours of work: h = 10
Substitute with h = 10 at the equation of cost
<u>Cost = 25 + 50 * 10 = $525</u>
