Answer:

  A|  12, 3

Step-by-step explanation:

The polynomial can be factored by looking for factors of 36 that sum to -15. The sum being negative while the product is positive means both factors will be negative. The answer choices suggest ...

  y = (x -12)(x -3)

A quick check shows this product is ...

  y = x^2 -12x -3x +36 = x^2 -15x +36 . . . . as required

The factors are zero when x is either 12 or 3.

The zeros of the equation are 12 and 3.

____

Once you realize the constants in the binomial factors both have a negative sign, you can immediately choose the correct answer (A).

Or, you can use Descartes' rule of signs, which tells you that the two sign changes in the coefficients (+-+) mean there are 2 positive real roots.

8/3 = 3 (c + 5/3) how to solve step by step
Ludmilka [50]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

8/3=3(c+5/3)

multiply both sides by 3

8=9(c+5/3)

divide both sides by 9

8/9=c+5/3

subtract 5/3 from both sides

c=8/9-5/3

change 5/3 to 15/9

c=8/9-15/9

c=-7/9

Answer:

8 + 1.5x + 0.75y = pizza_cost

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given that every 10-inch cheese pizza costs ($8), meaning that this will be the constant.

Let (x) represent the number of inches added to the pizza. Since each extra additional inch costs ($1.5) thus one adds (1.5x) to the equation.

Let (y) represent the number of toppings. Every extra topping costs ($0.75) therefore one has to add (0.75y) to the equation.

Putting all of the elements together one gets the equation,

8 + 1.5x + 0.75y
