<u><em>Answer:</em></u>

The number is either 3 or 4


<u><em>Explanation:</em></u>

Assume that the number we are looking for is x

The square of the number would be x²

7 times the number would be 7x


<u>We are given that:</u>

square of the number (x²) is 12 less than 7 times the number (7x)


<u>Translating this into an equation, we would have:</u>

x² = 7x - 12


<u>Rearranging the quadratic equation:</u>

x² - 7x + 12 = 0


<u>Now, we factor the equation:</u>

(x-4)(x-3) = 0


<u>This means that:</u>

either x-4 = 0 ..................> x = 4

or x-3 = 0 ........................> x = 3


<u>Let's check if any of the solutions is an extrovert:</u>

For x = 3 .............> (3)² = 7(3) - 12 .........> 9 = 21 - 12 .......> 9 = 9 .......> not extrovert

For x = 4 .............> (4)² = 7(4) - 12 .........> 16 = 28 - 12 .....> 16 = 16 ....> not extrovert


Since we have no restrictions on the number, therefore, both solutions would be accepted


Hope this helps :)

The voltage in a circuit is the product of two factors, the resistance and the current. If the voltage is 6ir + 15i + 8r+20, fin
andreev551 [17]

Answer:

  • resistance: (2r +5)
  • current: (3i +4)

Step-by-step explanation:

The factors of the given expression are ...

  6ir +15i +8r +20 = (3i +4)(2r +5)

Which factor is current and which is resistance is not clear. Usually, resistance is referred to using the variable r, so we suppose the expressions are supposed to be ...

  resistance: (2r +5)

  current: (3i +4)
