Write the word problem in algebraic form:

n2 -14 = 5n

Write as a quadratic:

n2 - 5n - 14 = 0

Factor:

(n+2)(n-7) = 0

Solve:

n+2 = 0    =>   n = -2

n-7 = 0    =>   n = 7

positive solution is 7.   (14 less than 72 = 35 which is also 5 times 7)

Answer:

The positive solution is 7.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number be x, then we have:

5x = x^2 - 14

x^2 - 5x - 14 = 0

(x - 7)(x + 2) = 0

x =7, -2.

Mary sews at a rate of 60 inches per hour. How many feet does she sew in a minute?
makvit [3.9K]

Answer:

B. 0.083 rounded to the nearest thousandth.

Step-by-step explanation:

It is known that 12 inches = 1 foot and

60 minutes = 1 hour

Since we want to covert from inches per hour to feet per minute, then we would change 60 inches to feet in 1 hour 2 minutes in divide.

If 12 inches = 1 foot, then

60 inches = 60/12 = 5 feet

Therefore, the number of feet that she sews in a minute is

5/60 = 0.083 feet per minute

She sews 0.083 feet per minute.

This is the full explanation for this question.
