let nwmber to be X

the number is 12 less than it's square,

so X=12-X^2

=> X^2+X-12=0

=> (X+4)(X-3)=0

=>X= 3, or X=-4

in math we don't usually take negative numbers into account so your number would be 3

hodyreva [135]

Answer:

40.6 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

The plant's initial height is 7 inches tall.

It grows 1.3 inches each day for 27 days. This means that after 27 days, it must have grown an extra:

1.3 * 27 = 35.1 inches

It must have grown an extra 35.1 inches after 27 days. Therefore, its new height after 27 days is:

7 + 35.1 = 42.1 inches

The plant then begins falling over 0.5 inch for the next 3 days. After 3 days, it must have fallen over by a height:

0.5 * 3 = 1.5 inches

Therefore, after 30 days, the plant's new height is:

42.1 - 1.5 = 40.6 inches

The plant's height after 30 days is 40.6 inches

Rounding is simple:

  • If the previous digit is 5-9, round the number to the left of it up a number. If it is 4-0, leave the number to the left of it as it is.

For 82.98, we can round 82 to 83, since 82 is the whole number and the previous digit is 9 (so we round up).

For 169.645, we scratch off 45. Since 6 is in the tenth's place and the previous digit of it is 4, we leave it at 169.64.
