i think we need some more information or something is there any other information that they give you for this question?
Answer: The answer is 8.
Step-by-step explanation: The first step is to convert the expression into figures. We shall call the unknown number Y. So if we are told “the square of a number,” that means Y squared, or better still, Y^2. Further we are told “the difference between the square of a number and 40” and that can be written as;
Y^2 - 40.
Next we are told that this expression is equal to 3 times that number (that is 3Y). That can now be written out as follows,
Y^2 - 40 = 3Y
If we move all expressions to one side of the equation, what we would have is,
Y^2 - 3Y -40 = 0
(Remember that when a positive value crosses to the other side of an equation it becomes negative and vice versa)
We now have a quadratic equation
Y^2 -3Y - 40 = 0
By factorizing we now have
(Y -8) (Y + 5) = 0
Therefore Y - 8 = 0 or
Y + 5 = 0
Hence, Y = 8 or Y = -5
Since we are asked to calculate the positive solution, Y = 8
Answer:
D. 2.69 lb is your answer
13vases=34.97lb
1 vase=34.97/13=2.69lb
So, first of all you have to identify the two equations which are: y=7x-8 and y=5x-2. after identifying the two equation you can choose one of them to start with. I chose the first one and I'll use substitution method, which means I'll pug in numbers in the unknown variables to find the value of x. Y=7x-8, I'll substitute the value of y in the equation that I chose and plug in the value of the second equation. Y=7x-8 --> 5x-2=7x-8 (this is our new equation). After that I'll combine like terms. -2+8=7x-5x --> 6=2x --> 6/2=x --> 3=x. So x=3 and that's the answer using substitution method. If the two points are graphed, they will intersect at the point (3,13). To see where the intersection of the line we can use a calculator to make it faster. So we plug in the points of the two lines in the calculator we graph and find the intersection point.
