Mara carried water bottles to the field to share with her team at halftime. The water bottles weighed a total of 60x2 + 48x + 24 ounces.


Which factorization could represent the number of water bottles and weight of each water bottle?


6(10x^2 + 8x + 2)

12(5x^2 + 4x + 2)

6x(10x^2 + 8x + 2)

12x(5x^2 + 4x + 2)

Verified Answer :

find common factors of each

60x^2=2235xx
48x=2
2223x
24=2223


find the common group
common gropu is 2
2*3=12

front number shold be 2
the only one is the second option



anwer is second option

For this case we have the following polynomial:

\(60x ^ 2 + 48x + 24\)

What we must do for this case is to factor the polynomial, so that we have:

1) The number of bottles

2) the weight of each bottle.

We have then:

\(12 (5x ^ 2 + 4x + 2)\)

Answer:

A factorization that could represent the number of water bottles and weight of each water bottle is:

\(12 (5x ^ 2 + 4x + 2)\)
