The difference of a number times 7 and 4 is equal to 6 using the variable y for the unknown number

1 answer:

4 0

This question would be written as an equation like so:
-y(7+4)=6

When we simplify the left side, we get this:
-11y=6

Now we undo the multiplication by dividing both sides by -11:
y= -0.545454545454 (and that goes on for forever)

Rounding off the answer, we get this:
y = -0.55

$n_{1}=\frac{-b-\sqrt{\Delta }}{2a} =\frac{20-10}{2}=\frac{10}{2}=5\\ \\n_{2}=\frac{-b+\sqrt{\Delta }}{2a} \frac{20+10}{2}=\frac{30}{2}=15$

$t_{1}=\frac{-b-\sqrt{\Delta }}{2a} =\frac{-8-10}{2}=\frac{-18}{2}=-9\\ \\t_{2}=\frac{-b+\sqrt{\Delta }}{2a} \frac{-8+10}{2}=\frac{2}{2}=1$

$m_{1}=\frac{-b-\sqrt{\Delta }}{2a} =\frac{2-6}{2}=\frac{-4}{2}=-2\\ \\m_{2}=\frac{-b+\sqrt{\Delta }}{2a}= \frac{2+6}{2}=\frac{8}{2}=4$

$v_{1}=\frac{-b-\sqrt{\Delta }}{2a} =\frac{-4-2\sqrt{6}}{2}=\frac{2(-2-\sqrt{6}}{2}= -2-\sqrt{6}\approx -2-2,45\approx -4,45\\ \\v_{2}=\frac{-b+\sqrt{\Delta }}{2a}= \frac{-4+2\sqrt{6}}{2}=\frac{2(\sqrt{6}-2}{2}= \sqrt{6}-2 \approx 2,45-2\approx 0,45$
