Extract

Choose the best answer. If necessary, use the paper you were given.
If (2w + 7)(3w - 1) = 0 which of the following is a possible value of w?

Answer Choices

  • A: -3
  • B: -0.28571
  • C: 01-Mar
  • D: 07-Feb

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: Set each factor to zero: 2w + 7 = 0 => w = -7/2. 3w - 1 = 0 => w = 1/3. Only w=1/3 is listed. *Check choices*: D is 7/2, not -7/2. w=1/3 is option C. Possible values are w=-7/2 or w=1/3. Among choices, C (1/3) is correct. But D is 7/2. So correct answer is C (1/3), not D. Choices: A: -3, B: -2/7, C: 1/3, D: 7/2. So C is correct.
