Answer:

the positive number is equal to  6.

Step-by-step explanation:

from the question which says A positive number is 30 less than its square. Find the number.

let the number be "n"

and the square of the number = n²

So, we have  the expression to be

n = n²-30

n ²-30 -n =0

Re-arrange the equation

n²-n-30=0

the factors of -30 are 5 and -6

so we have

(n+5)(n-6)=0

n+5 =0

n = -5

or

n-6 =0

n = 6

therefore the number can either be -5 or 6.

note we are asked to find the positive number , so the positive number is 6

alexandr402 [8]

Answer: y = 1/2x - 9

Step-by-step explanation:

  • y + 5 = 1/2(x - 8)
  • y + 5 = 1/2x - 4 (distribute)
  • y = 1/2x - 9 (subtract 5 from both sides)
