Answer:

(x - 2) (x + 5) = 18

⇔5x + x² - 2x - 10 = 18

⇔x² + 3x = 18 + 10

⇔x² + 3x = 28

⇔x² + 3x - 28 = 0

⇔x² + 4x - 7x - 28= 0

⇔x(x +4) - 7(x + 4)= 0

⇔(x - 7) (x + 4) = 0

⇔x - 7 = 0 or x + 4 = 0

⇔x = 7 or x = -4

11 less than 7 times a number is 5 more than 6 times the number. find the number.

kolezko [41]

Let's translate the words into expressions:

11 less than 7 times a number is $7x-11$

5 more than 6 times the number is $6x+5$

So we have the equation

$7x-11 = 6x+5$

Subtract 6x from both sides:

$x - 11 = 5$

Add 11 to both sides:

$x=16$
