let's recall that a cube is just a rectangular prism with all equal sides, check picture below.
![\bf \textit{volume of a cube}\\\\ V=s^3~~ \begin{cases} s=&length~of\\ &a~side\\ \cline{1-2} V=&27000 \end{cases}\implies 27000=s^3\implies \sqrt[3]{27000}=s\implies 30=s \\\\[-0.35em] ~\dotfill\\\\ \textit{surface area of a cube}\\\\ SA=6s~~\begin{cases} s=&length~of\\ &a~side\\ \cline{1-2} s=&30 \end{cases}\implies SA=6(30)\implies SA=180](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Cbf%20%5Ctextit%7Bvolume%20of%20a%20cube%7D%5C%5C%5C%5C%20V%3Ds%5E3~~%20%5Cbegin%7Bcases%7D%20s%3D%26length~of%5C%5C%20%26a~side%5C%5C%20%5Ccline%7B1-2%7D%20V%3D%2627000%20%5Cend%7Bcases%7D%5Cimplies%2027000%3Ds%5E3%5Cimplies%20%5Csqrt%5B3%5D%7B27000%7D%3Ds%5Cimplies%2030%3Ds%20%5C%5C%5C%5C%5B-0.35em%5D%20~%5Cdotfill%5C%5C%5C%5C%20%5Ctextit%7Bsurface%20area%20of%20a%20cube%7D%5C%5C%5C%5C%20SA%3D6s~~%5Cbegin%7Bcases%7D%20s%3D%26length~of%5C%5C%20%26a~side%5C%5C%20%5Ccline%7B1-2%7D%20s%3D%2630%20%5Cend%7Bcases%7D%5Cimplies%20SA%3D6%2830%29%5Cimplies%20SA%3D180)
The Discriminant for the equation x2 + 3x - 4 = 0 would be 25.
Answer:
The consecutive odd integers are (15, 17, 19) or (-17, -15, -13).
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the three consecutive odd integers be: 
The condition given is:
![4[x-2+x+x+2]=3x(x+2)-765](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=4%5Bx-2%2Bx%2Bx%2B2%5D%3D3x%28x%2B2%29-765)
Solve this for <em>x</em> as follows:
![4[x-2+x+x+2]=3x(x+2)-765\\4\times 3x=3x^{2}+6x-765\\3x^{2}-6x-765=0\\x^{2}-2x-255=0\\x^{2}-17x+15x-255=0\\x(x-17)+15(x-17)=0\\(x-17)(x+15)=0](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=4%5Bx-2%2Bx%2Bx%2B2%5D%3D3x%28x%2B2%29-765%5C%5C4%5Ctimes%203x%3D3x%5E%7B2%7D%2B6x-765%5C%5C3x%5E%7B2%7D-6x-765%3D0%5C%5Cx%5E%7B2%7D-2x-255%3D0%5C%5Cx%5E%7B2%7D-17x%2B15x-255%3D0%5C%5Cx%28x-17%29%2B15%28x-17%29%3D0%5C%5C%28x-17%29%28x%2B15%29%3D0)
- If
then the value of <em>x</em> is 17.
The odd numbers are:

- If
then the value of <em>x</em> is -15.
The odd numbers are:

Thus, the consecutive odd integers are (15, 17, 19) or (-17, -15, -13).
Solving the inequality for g
Move the 6 over by subtraction and you have:
4.5g ≤ 34
Then divide each side by 4.5
g = 7.55555
So Ellis can purchase at lease 7 gallons but not 8 (D)
