Let x = your number.
6x = x^2 - 27. Subtract 6x from each side.
0 = x^2 - 6x - 27. Factor
0 = (x-9) (x+3). Set each term equal to zero
(x+3) = 0. Subtract 3 from each side.
x = -3. This is the negative solution.
(x-9) = 0. Add 9 to each side.
x = 9. This is the positive solution.
Answer:
3.14
Step-by-step explanation:
He should buy two 5 pound bags and one 2 pound bag.
1.25*(t)+7=43.25
To solve the 2nd one, you must do 43.25 - 7 = 26.25
36.25 divided by 1.25 = 29
Q-2r=4, therefore: q=4+2r.
Plug the value of q into q+r=37, so you get:
4+2r+r=37
3r=37-4=33
3r=33
Therefore: r=11.
q-2r=4, but r=11, so:
q-2(11)=4
q-22=4
Therefore q=26.
Check if the answer is correct using second equation:
q=4+2r=4+2(11)=4+22=26.
So: q=26 and r=11.
