Malia split up the large container of salsa that she bought equally into 5 bowls to place around her house for the party. if each bowl contained 8.5 ounces of the salsa, which shows the correct equation and value of x, the total amount of salsa in the original container

42.5 ounces

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the amount of salsa .

Since  Malia split it up in 5 equal parts in bowls equally.

So, amount of salsa in each part =

Since we are given that  each bowl contained 8.5 ounces of the salsa .

Thus  the total amount of salsa in the original container is 42.5 ounces

Hence the equation is and and value of x, the total amount of salsa in the original container is 42.5 ounces .

f(x) = x^3 -2x^2 -3x

x( x^2 -2x-3)

x( x^2 +x -3x -3)

x( x(x+1) -3(x+1))

x( x-3)( x+1)

so zeroes are 0, 3,-1

its (2) option
