Question

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(10x2 + 8x + 2)
12(5x2 + 4x + 2)
6x(10x2 + 8x + 2)
12x(5x2 + 4x + 2)

Answer 1

Answer: 12(5x2 + 4x + 2) is correct answer

Explanation:

60x2 + 48x + 24

if we take 6 as a common factor

6(10x^2+8x+4) so first option is not true

if we take 12 as a common factor

12(5x2 + 4x + 2)

6x & 12x can not be taken as common factor..

so the correct option is 2nd one..

Answer 2

The answer is B. 12(5x^2+4x+2)
