When 21 is subtracted from the square of a number, the result is 4 times the number. Find the positive solution.

Let x = your number.

x^2 - 21 = 4x. Subtract 4x from both sides.

x^2 - 4x - 21 = 0. Factor.

(x - 7) (x + 3) = 0. Set each term to 0.

x + 3 = 0. Subtract 3 from both sides.

x = -3. This is the negative solution.

Set the other term equal to zero.

x - 7 = 0. Add 7 to each side.

x = 7. This is the positive solution.

If you roll a dice 100 times how many times would you expect to roll a product that is a multiple of 5
Luden [163]

If you're rolling a single cube, then ...

-- There are 6 possible out comes.
-- One of them (5) is a multiple of 5 .
-- The probability of rolling it is (1/6) = <em>16-2/3 %</em> .

If everything is acting perfectly random, then ion 100 rolls,
you'd expect to succeed 16 or 17 times.


If you're rolling a pair of cubes, then ...

-- There are (6 x 6) = 36 possible outcomes.
-- There are seven ways to get a multiple of 5.
(1+4),  (4+1),  (2+3),  (3+2),  (4+6),  (6+4),  (5+5)
-- The probability of rolling one of those is
                                                             (7/36) = <em>19-4/9 %</em> .

If everything is acting perfectly random, then in 100 rolls,
you'd expect to succeed 19 or 20 times.
