A gift shop at an amusement park sells key chains. The gift shop has 55 key chains. When the number of key chains is below 10, the manager will reorder. If the gift shop sells 4 key chains each day, how many days will it take before the manager has to reorder?

hello from mrbilldoesmath!

answer:   x (x+6)^2, choice b

discussion:

factor x out of the equation:

x^3 + 12x^2 + 36x = x (x^2 + 12x + 36).

note that 6+6 = 12 and 6*6 = 36 so the above factors into:

x (x+6)^2

which is choice b
