Let the number be x, and remember that x is negative.

Then x^2 = 3x + 28.  Rearranging terms, x^2 - 3x - 28 = 0

Factoring, (x+4)(x-7) = 0.  Solving for x, x=-4 and x=7.  Discard x=7.

The answer is x=-4.

Check:  Is this true for x = -4?

"<span>The square of a negative number is 28 more than three times the negative number."

(-4)^2 = 28 + 3(-4)             or    16 = 28 - 12                 yes, this is true.</span>

Let x be the unknown negative number.

The square of the negative number: x2

is =

60 more than 4 times the negative number: 4x + 60

     x2 = 4x + 60

     x2 - 4x - 60 = 0

Factors to:

     (x-10)(x+6) = 0

     x = 10 and -6

Since the number is negative, x = -6

Check:

    x2 = 4x + 60

    (-6)2 = 4(-6)+60

    36 = -24 + 60

    36 = 36

Peter walked 10m from X to Y on bearing 020° and then he turned and walked 20m to Z with bearing 140° of Z from Y. Find the dist
seraphim [82]

Answer:

17.32m ; 110°

Step-by-step explanation:

Distance between X and Z

To calculate the distance between X and Z

y^2 = x^2 + z^2 - (2xz)*cosY

x = 20, Z = 10

y^2 = 20^2 + 10^2 - (2*20*10)* cos60°

y^2 = 400 + 100 - (400)* 0.5

y^2 = 500 - 200

y^2 = 300

y = sqrt(300)

y = 17.32m

Bearing of Z from X:

Using cosine rule :

Cos X = (y^2 + z^2 - x^2) / 2yz

Cos X = (300 + 100 - 400) / (2 * 20 '*10)

Cos X = 0 / 400

Cos X = 0

X = cos^-1 (0)

X = 90°

Bearing of Z from X

= 20° + X

= 20° + 90°

= 110°

Answer: total net sales = $7950

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for determining total net sales is expressed as

total net sales = Gross sales - (sales returns + allowances + discount)

Gross sales means total sales.

From the information given,

Gross sales = $9000

Discounts = $900

Returns = $150

Allowances = 0(this is because it was not given)

Therefore,

total net sales = 9000 - (900 + 150)

= 9000 - 1050

total net sales = $7950
