Consider the product P(x) = (3x2 - 6x + 2)(7x + 3). What is the numerical coefficient of the x term in P(x)?
Enter only a number for your answer.

-4

Step-by-step explanation:

Notice that the only way to multiply 2 numbers from each of the polynomials and get an x term is to multiply a constant and an x term.

The only ways to do that is to multiply -6x by 3 and 7x by 2.

After you're done multiplying, just combine the 2 like terms:

-18x+14x

=-4x

Therefore, the coefficient of the x term is -4.

the first one, all those points on the line just make a strait line.

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.
