Number:  n
square of number:  n^2
sum of n and n^2 is n+n^2=20
Rewriting this equation, we get n^2+n-20=0 = (n+5)(n-4) = 0

Then n+5=0 and n-4=0, so n = -5 and n = 4.

You must check both results.  It could happen that both are correct, or that only one is correct.

Serggg [28]

Answer:

The second choice is correct. (f(x) = 8.50x+7.50)

Angel had +7.50 dollars to start off with and then worked 5 hours to get 42.50  dollars. This means, she earns 8 dollars 50 cents per hour, meaning that 8.50x would represent the total amount of money that she would earn from her job.

Let me know if this helps!

Find the center and radius of this
ipn [44]

\text{Hello there! :)}

Answer:

\boxed{\text{Center at } (7, -4), \text{ Radius of } 7.}

\text{Formula for a circle: }  (x - h)^{2} + (y - k)^{2}  = r^{2}  \text{ Where:}

h = \text{ x-coordinate of center}\\\\k = \text{ y-coordinate of center}\\\\r = \text{ radius}\\\\\text{Therefore:}

\text{In the equation } (x - 7)^{2}  + (y + 4)^{2}  = 49:

h = 7\\\\k = -4\\\\r = \sqrt[]{49} = 7 \\\\\text{So:}

\text{Center at } (7, -4), \text{ Radius of } 7.
