7 times a number is 18 less than the square of that number. Find the positive solution.

1 answer:

7 0

So 7 x = x2 -18 so you get the quadratic x^2 -7x -18 and then get 2 x -9= -18 and 2 + -9 = -7 so you get (x + 2) ( x - 9) so the positive solution would be x-9 = 0 so x= 9. Hope this helps :)

Answer:

The answer is B

Step-by-step explanation:

75 + x = 90

First, Virginia had to write an equation to solve for x.

75 - 75 + x = 90 - 75

Second, Virginia used the subtraction property of equality to isolate x.

x = 15

Third, "x = 15" was the answer Virginia got after subtracting 90 and 75.

75 + 15 = 90

Finally, she had to verify her answer
