When the square of a certain number is diminished by 9 times the number the result is 36?

1 answer:

3 0

X²-9x=36
minus 36 both sides
x²-9x-36=0
what 2 numbers multiply to -36 and add to -9
-12 and 3
(x-12)(x+3)=0
set to zero
x-12=0
x=12

x+3=0
x=-3

the number is either -3 or 12

To draw a line segment perpendicular to XY passing through point x

Andrew [12]

What does perpendicular mean? Well, in elementary geometry it mean 2 lines that intersect at a right angle. (90°).

So for Part one. all you need to do is draw a straight line down from the point X. Name the end point of that line M.

Now you will connect the line M and Z.

Thats it! I hope this helped!! :)

The number of students who chose lunch was 5 more than the number of students who chose breakfast. Write a system of linear equa

Papessa [141]

Answer:

The system of linear equations are $y=5+x$ and $x+y=25$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : The number of students who chose lunch was 5 more than the number of students who chose breakfast. Let x represent the number of students who chose breakfast and y represent the number of students who chose lunch.

(50 students picked, 25 picked dinner the rest picked lunch and breakfast)

To find : Write a system of linear equations that represents the numbers of students who chose breakfast and lunch ?

Solution :

The number of students who chose breakfast be 'x'

The number of students who chose lunch be 'y'.

The number of students who chose lunch was 5 more than the number of students who chose breakfast.

i.e. $y=5+x$

Now, Total student were 50 and 25 picked dinner the rest picked lunch and breakfast i.e. 25.

So, $x+y=25$

Therefore, the system of linear equations are $y=5+x$ and $x+y=25$

Answer:

The slope is 24

Step-by-step explanation:

Use any two points in the graph to find the slope of the graph
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
Step 1. Use two points

Ex: (10, 320) & (5, 200)

Step 2. Find the slope using the two points

m = slope

m = change in y/change in x

m = (y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1)

m = (200 - 320)/(5 - 10)

m = -120/-5

m = 120/5

m = 24

The slope of the graph/line is 24
