Hey there!
Question reads "Mara carried water bottles to the field to share with her team at halftime. The water bottles weighed a total of [tex]\bold{60x^2 + 48x + 24}[/tex] ounces. Which factorization could represent the number of water bottles and weight of each water bottle?"
- Firstly, let's find out our factors of the equation
- [tex]\bold{60x^2=2(2)(3)(5)(x)(x)}[/tex] (we get two "[tex]\bold{x's}[/tex]" because it forms our "square root")
- [tex]\bold{48x=2(2)(2)(3)(2)(x)}[/tex]
- [tex]\bold{24=2(2)(3)(2)}[/tex]
- Look for the common factor of the equation it should help you locate your answer: [tex]\bold{2(2)(3)=12}[/tex]
- [tex]\boxed{\boxed{\bold{Answer:12(5x^2+4x+2)}}}[/tex] [tex]\checkmark[/tex]
Good luck on your assignment and enjoy your day!
