A carpenter has less than 120 minutes to spend painting furniture each day. Today, he has spent 30.5 minutes painting a desk. Now he will paint x chairs, each of which takes 12.5 minutes. What is the maximum number of chairs the carpenter can paint?

Maximum number of chairs is 7.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are told he has less than 120 minutes to spend painting furniture each day.

Now he has spent 30.5 minutes painting a desk.

Also, he wants to paint "x" number of chairs with each chair taking 12.5 minutes.

Thus, we have;

30.5 + 12.5x < 120

Subtract 30.5 from both sides to get;

12.5x < 120 - 30.5

12.5x < 89.5

x < 89.5/12.5

x < 7.16

Thus, maximum number of chairs he can paint is 7

x= -3 and

step-by-step explanation:

to find the roots of a cubic, use division or factoring to find the factors then set equal to 0. as this is a difference of cubes, it factors into

where a is the cube root of .

here   this is 27 and the cube root of 27 is 3. so we write using the form:

.

set each factor to 0 and solve for x.

x-3=0

x=3

the quadratic expression does not factor and must be solved using the quadratic formula.

where a = 1, b=3, and c=9

this cubic has two complex roots.
