Answer:
x = 33
Step-by-step explanation:
(x + 13) + (4x + 2) = 180
x + 13 + 4x + 2 = 180
5x + 15 = 180
5x = 180 - 15
5x = 165
x = 165/5
x = 33
Check:
(x + 13) + (4x + 2) = 180
(33 + 13) + 4(33) + 2 = 180
46 + 132 + 2 = 180
46 + 134 = 180

Answer:
x = -3 and x = -3/2
Step-by-step explanation:
After writing down the polynomial, split it; put a line between 3x^2 and -18x. Look and 2x^3 + 3x^2 and -18x - 27 separately and factor them both:
p(x) = 2x^3 + 3x^2 <u>- 18x -27</u>
p(x) = x^2(2x+3) <u>-9(2x+3)</u>
Now notice how x^2 and -9 have the same factor (2x+3). That means x^2 and -9 can go together:
p(x) = (x^2 - 9)(2x+3)
Factor it once more because there's a difference of squares:
p(x) = (x+3)(x-3)(2x+3)
Now just plug in whatever makes the each bracket equal 0:
x = -3, x = 3, and x = -3/2
Those are your zeros.
