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.

Christine performed the following experiment 20 times using a book that contains 462 pages.
wel

Using the probability concept, it is found that there is a 0.3 = 30% experimental probability that Christine will randomly choose a page that is divisible by 3.

<h3>What is a probability?</h3>

A probability is given by the <u>number of desired outcomes divided by the number of total outcomes</u>.

In an experimental probability, these number of outcomes are taken from previous trials.

In this problem:

  • The experiment was made 20 times.
  • Of those, in 6 experiments(81, 105, 171, 159, 297, 387) she choose a page that was divisible by 3.

Then:

p = \frac{6}{20} = 0.3

0.3 = 30% experimental probability that Christine will randomly choose a page that is divisible by 3.
