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.

Teresa earned scores of 88, 84, 88 points and 91 points on 4 test what is the lowest score she can get on the fifth test and sti
Usimov [2.4K]

Answer:

99 points

Step-by-step explanation:

Average of a data a is the sum of the data divided by the number of data.

Average = sum of data ÷ number of data

A = T/n .....1

For the average of 5 test to be 90.

The total sum of score must be;

Number of tests n = 5

Average A = 90

Substituting into equation 1

90 = T/5

T = 90×5 = 450 points

The total score must be equal to 450 point to have an average of 90 points

The sum of the first four test is;

88+84+88+91 = 351

Let x represent the first score,

351 + x = 450

x = 450 - 351

x = 99 points

The minimum score she can get in the fifth test is 99 points
