1 answer:

5 0

If the number is x, then:
6x+1= (x-1)^2

Now we just need to simplify it
6x+1=(x-1)*(x-1)
6x+1=x^2-2x+1
8x=x^2
8=x

The number is 8.

To check the answer
6*8+1=7^2
49=49
correct :)

Olive walks at a rate of 4 miles per hour. She lives 2 miles from the news station.How long would it take her to walk home from

Montano1993 [528]

4/1 = 2/x...4 miles to 1 hr = 2 miles to x hrs
cross multiply because this is a proportion
(4)(x) = (1)(2)
4x = 2
x = 2/4 reduces to 1/2...so she can walk 2 miles in 1/2 hr (or 30 minutes)
