The number is -13.

In order to find this, we first need to make each part of the statement into a mathematical statement.

Twice the difference of a number and 2.

2(x - 2)

Three times the sum of the number and 3

3(x + 3)

Now we can set them equal to each other and solve.

2(x - 2) = 3(x + 3) ----> Distribute

2x - 4 = 3x + 9 ------> Subtract 2x from both sides

-4 = x + 9 -----> Subtract 9 from both sides

-13 = x

42. Use the Quadratic Equation to find the Roots of x2 + 3x - 3=0
almond37 [142]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The coefficients of the x terms are {1, 3, -3}, so the discriminant, b^2 - 4ac, is 3^2 - 4(1)(-3), or 9 + 12, or 21.  The positive nature of the discriminant tells us that there are two real, unequal roots.  Following the quadratic formula, we get:

       -3 ± √21

x = -----------------

              2

What is the slope of the line that passes through (3, 5) and (-2, 6)?​
Aleksandr [31]

Answer:

0.2

Step-by-step explanation:

θ =  

arctan( ΔY ) + 180°

ΔX

= 168.69006752598°

ΔX = -2 – 3 = -5

ΔY = 6 – 5 = 1

Distance (d) = √ΔX2 + ΔY2 = √26 = 5.0990195135928

Equation of the line:

y = -0.2x + 5.6

or

y =  

- 1 x

5

+  28

5

When x=0, y = 5.6

When y=0, x = 28

Find the distance between a and b​
Jet001 [13]

Answer:

7.74596669241 (maybe)

Step-by-step explanation:

I havent really done this in a while but I started by making the line into a right triangle and counted how many boxes were inside(6 on the bottom 4 on the side). Then I used the Pythagorean theorem (which is the process of taking the sides and making them squares) < To simplify that explanation (I squared the sides(6 and 4).) so now we are left with 6² + 4² = x². next what you do is simplify your terms. (6² = 36, 4² = 24. 36 + 24 = 60) We have 60 = x² but we aren't don't yet, now we have to remove the square from x. and to do that we have to square root 60 and x² ( squared numbers being square rooted just leaves the regular number.) when square rooting 60 you are left with 7.8≈.

I hope this helps you, like i said its been a while since ive done this.
