The factors are of the form (ax + b)(cx +d)(ex + f) then, the coefficient of x³ is the product of the coefficients of the three x terms, namely ace = 6
The coefficient of x² is the sum of the product of the coefficients of x from 2 brackets multiplied by the number from the remaining bracket.
The coefficient of x is the sum of the product of the numbers from two brackets multiplied by the x coefficient from the remaining bracket.
The final number is the product of the numbers from the three brackets giving bdf = 4.
Some number crunching gives the solution (3x - 1)(x - 4)(2x + 1)
Alternatively:
We are told that 2x + 1 is a factor. Thus we know:
(2x + 1)(ax² + bx + c) = 6x³ - 23x² - 5x + 4
Multiplying out the left gives:
2ax³ + (2b + a)x² + (2c + b)x + c = 6x³ - 23x² - 5x + 4
Thus: 2a = 6 (coefficients of x³) → a = 3
And 2b + a = 2b + 3 = -23 (coefficients of x²) → b = -13
And c = 4 (term not including any x).
Thus we now know;
6x³ - 23x² - 5x + 4 = (2x +1)(3x² - 13x + 4)
As we are told to factorise it completely, it is likely that the quadratic also factorises. As 3 only has the factor pair 1×3, the quadratic will factorise into (3x + d)(x + e)
Thus 3x³ + (3e + d)x + de = 3x² -13x + 4
As the term without any x is positive, d and e must have the same sign.
As the coefficient of the x term is negative, both d and e must be negative.
Thus, the factor pairs of 4 to consider are (-1)×(-4) and (-2)×(-2).
As the coefficient of x is -13 = 3e + d, the values e = -4 and -1 are [fairly] obvious.
Thus 6x³ - 23x² - 5x + 4 = (2x +1)(3x - 1)(x - 4)
(3x + 1)(4x - 1)(x - 2)
The factors of 23x2 are: 1, 23, x, x2, 23x, and 23x2.

x = -1.2153 x = 2.0614
Twenty-three times two equals forty-six. It's a multiplication equation.
23x2=46 A human somatic cell contains 46 chromosomes
The pattern is twice the previous number plus 1 * 2 * (2x2)+1 = 5 * (5x2)+1 = 11 * (11x2)+1 = 23 * (23x2)+1 = 47
Atomic mass of sodium is 23. The atomic mass of oxygen is 16. Therefore the molecular mass of sodium oxide is 23x2+16=62u.The atomic mass of oxygen is 16. Atomic mass of sodium is 23. Therefore the molecular mass of the given compound is 62 grams per mole.
(21x3-23x2-76x-32)/(7x+4) = [3x2(7x4) -5x(7x+4)-8(7x+4)]/(7x+4)=3x2-5x-8
Equations don't equal numbers. An equation is a statement that has mathematicaloperations and possibly numbers in it.There are an infinite number of equations for which 46 could be a solution.Here are a few:x + 2 = 48100 - x = 54x/2 = 23x2 - 2,116 = 010x/10 = 39,810.717
If atomic masses, Na = 23 C=12, O = 16 Molar mass of Na2CO3 = (23x2) + 12 + (16 x 3) = 106 mass of Na in this compound = 2x23 = 46 Therefore percentage = 46 / 106 x 100 = 43.4%
There are 46 chromosomes (condensed threads of genetic material formed from chromatin as a cell prepares to divide), and 23 pairs of chromosomes in the human body.
