Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

3(x - 7) = 30 is our equation, since we take 7 away from the number and then multiply the result by 3.

3x - 21 = 30

Add 21

3x = 51

Divide by 3

x = 17

To check.

3(17 - 7(

3(10)

30 = 30 Correct

One zero of the polynomial function f(x) = x3 − 9x2 + 20x is x = 0. What are the zeros of the polynomial function? 0, −5, −4 0,

jeyben [28]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

As x = 0 is a zero, (x + 0) is a factor.

Dividing the equation by (x + 0) leaves x² - 9x + 20.

Factoring this polynomial

x² - 9x + 20 = (x - 4)(x - 5)

x - 4 = 0

x = 4

x - 5 = 0

x = 5

The zeros are at 0, 4, and 5.

Which can be verified by using a plotting calculator.

sarah used 3/4 pound of blueberries to make 1/2 cup of jam. how many pounds of blueberries would she need to make a cup of jam?

Ksenya-84 [330]

Answer: She needed $1\frac{1}{2}\text{ pounds of blueberries}$ to make a cup of jam .

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

Sarah used $\frac{3}{4}$ pound of blueberries to make $\frac{1}{2}$ cup of jam.

As we need to find the number of pounds of blueberries she would need to make a cup of jam.

So, we will use "Unitary Method":

$\text{For }\frac{1}{2}\text{ cup of jam},\\\\\text{ she need }\frac{3}{4}\text{ pound of blueberries }\\\\\text{ For 1 cup of jam}.\\\\\text{She need }=\frac{3}{4}\times 2=\frac{3}{2}=1\frac{1}{2}\text{ pounds of blueberries }$

Hence, She needed $1\frac{1}{2}\text{ pounds of blueberries}$ to make a cup of jam .
