30. Three apples plus twice as many pears add up to one-half the number of grapes in a fruit basket. How many grapes are in the basket?
(A) 8
(B) 18
c.28
d.38

3 + 6 = 1/2(#grapes)

3 + 6 = 9

9 = 1/2(#grapes)

2(9) = 1(#grapes)

18 = # of grapes

Step-by-step explanation:

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
