Answer:

Plastic is 22.5 pounds and aluminum is 32.5 pounds.

Step-by-step explanation:

total junk = 55 pounds

Value of plastic = $ 1.60 per pound

Value of aluminum = $ 1.28 per pound

Total value= $ 77.60

Let the plastic is p and the aluminum is 55 - p.

Total cost

77.60 = 1.6 p + (55 - p) x 1.28

77.60 =  1.6 p + 70.4 - 1.28 p

7.2 = 0.32 p

p = 22.5 pounds

So, plastic is 22.5 pounds and aluminum is 32.5 pounds.

Alexxx [7]

Answer:

2x³+3x²-8x+3

Step-by-step explanation:

So we know x=½,x=1 and x=-3

Then (2x-1)(x-1)(x+3) are the factors

(2x-1)[(x²+3x-x-3)]

(2x-1)[(x²+2x-3)]

2x³+4x²-6x-x²-2x+3

2x³+3x²-8x+3
