Answer:
n = -3
Step-by-step explanation:
The difference of the square of a number and 24 is equal to 5 times that number. Find the negative solution.
I'm going to call the number "n."
n² - 24 = 5n subtract 5n from both sides to get the equation equal to zero
<u>- 5n -5n</u>
n² - 5n - 24 = 0 factor the trinomial into the multiplicatin of two binomials
we need factors (numbers that multiply) to -24 that add up to
-5. The only factors for -24 that will add up to -5 are -8 and 3.
(n-8)(n+3) = 0 set each binomial equal to zero and solve for n
n-8 = 0 or n+3 = 0
<u>+8 +8</u> <u> -3 -3</u>
n = 8 or n = -3 n = -3 is the negative solution

Answer:
<em>97.5 sq. ft.</em>
Step-by-step explanation:
Im presuming the question asks to find area of the shaded region.
First of all, the total figure is a rectangle. We can write an expression(in words) for the shaded area.
<em>Shaded Area = Area of Rectangle - Area of Small Triangle(White) - Area of Large Triangle(White)</em>
Now, we find respective areas.
Area of rectangle:
length * width = (5+10) * (12) = 15 * 12 = 180
Area of Small Triangle (white):
A = (1/2) * base * height = (1/2) * 5 * (12-3) = (1/2) * 5 * 9 = 22.5
Area of Large Triangle (white):
A = (1/2) * base * height = (1/2) * 10 * (12) = 60
Now, we find area of shaded region:
<em>Shaded Area = Area of Rectangle - Area of Small Triangle(White) - Area of Large Triangle(White)</em>
<em>Shaded Area = 180 - 22.5 - 60 = 97.5 sq. ft.</em>
600,000 and 60,000 I do believe.
