Which value of b will make the
expression x^2+bx+120 factorable?

Step-by-step expla These are the possible sums of the factor pairs of 12 b is the sum of the factors used to multiply to get 12 for the C value. ( x + 1) xx (x + 12) = x^2 + 13 x + 12 ( x - 1) xx (x - 12) = x^2 + (-13) x + 12 (x + 2) xx (x + 6) = x^2 + 8x + 12 (x - 2) xx (x - 6) = x^2 + (-8)x + 1

 12 b

These are the possible sums of the factor pairs of 12 b is the sum of the factors used to multiply to get 12 for the C value. ( x + 1) xx (x + 12) = x^2 + 13 x + 12 ( x - 1) xx (x - 12) = x^2 + (-13) x + 12 (x + 2) xx (x + 6) = x^2 + 8x + 12 (x - 2) xx (x - 6) = x^2 + (-8)x + 1

step-by-step explanation:

12: 00 p.m. to 7: 00 p.m. is a total of 7 hours.

4: 00 p.m. to 7: 00 p.m. is a total of 3 hours.

this means that from 4: 00 p.m to 7: 00 p.m. this represents 3/7 of what was lost from 12: 00 p.m. to 7: 00 p.m.

after knowing this, after doing 11,600 - 6,800 = 4,800

4,800 represents 3/7 of what was lost for 7 hours.

we then divide 4,800 by 3 which gets 1,600.

because we know that 1,600 represents 1/7 of how much water was lost, we just have to multiply by 7, which gets 11,200.   after adding 11,200 to how much water was left at 7: 00 p.m. which was 6,800. 11,200 + 6,800 = 18,000

this means that the pool originally had 18,000 gallons in the pool.

you can also check your work by doing 18,000 - 4(1600), which becomes           1800 - 6400 which gets you 11,600.
