Answer:
8
Step-by-step explanation:
Let's just call the number x for simplicity.
So, 7x is 8 less than x².
Putting this into an equation would look like this
x² - 8 = 7x
It looks like we'll have to factor this to solve. Before we do that we need to move the 7x to the left side so that everything is together.
x² - 7x -8 = 0
Now, we can proceed. To factor we first need to find the factors of -8.
The factors of -8 are
-2 ⋅ 4, -4 ⋅ 2, -1 ⋅ 8, 1 ⋅ -8.
We need to find the pair of factors that adds up to -7. The only ones that do are -1 and 8.
So now that we have these we can create a pair of binomials using them. This will give us the factored form of this equation.
( x + 1 ) ( x - 8 )
To find the solutions we will have to set them to 0 and solve each of these binomials individually.
x - 1 = 0
x = 1
So, one of the solutions is 1. It's not the one we want, since it's positive.
x - 8 = 0
x = 8
This is the one we want since it is positive.

Answer:
the quotient of 45 or o is 45/o. A quotient is the result of a division . For example 8/4=2 so, 2 is the quotient.
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
The length of one revolution of the sprocket is ...
C = 2πr = 2π(1.5 in) = 3π in
Then the length of 3250 revolutions is ...
3250(3π in) = 30,630.53 in
About 30,631 inches of chain travel past the sprocket in one minute.
__
There are 12 inches in a foot, so the number of feet is ...
30,630.53 in/(12 in/ft) = 2552.54 ft
About 2553 feet of chain travel past in one minute.
633,360,000 divided by 10,000= 63,360inches per mile
Chevy- 63,360 divided by 113.04= 560.5 times 10,000=5,605,000 rotations per mile
Bicyle- 63,360 divieded by 94.2= 672.6 times 10,000=6,726,000
Motorcycle- 63,360 divided by 100.48=630.6 times 10,000= 6,306,000
