<h3>17 heavy equipment operators and 14 general labourers were employed</h3>

<em><u>Solution:</u></em>

Let x = number of heavy equipment operators employed

Then,

31 - x = number of laborers employed

From given,

Pay of heavy equipment operators = $ 138 per day

Pay of general labours = $ 93 per day

Payroll was $3648

Therefore,

number of heavy equipment operators x Pay of heavy equipment operators + number of laborers employed x Pay of general labours = 3648

138x + 93(31 - x) = 3648

138x + 2883 - 93x = 3648

45x = 3648 - 2883

45x = 765

x = 17

Thus,

31 - x = 31 - 17 = 14

Therefore, 17 heavy equipment operators and 14 general labourers were employed

17. x^2 + 2x + 1
valentina_108 [34]

Answer:

E. This polynomial could be factored by using grouping or the perfect squares methods.

Step-by-step explanation:

x^2 + 2x + 1

There is no greatest common factor

This is a perfect square

a^2 + 2ab+ b^2 = ( x+1)^2

We can factor this  by grouping

x^2 + 2x + 1

(x^2 +x) + (x+1)

x( x+1)  + x+1

Factor out x+1

( x+1)  ( x+1)

This is not the difference of squares since there is no subtraction
