We’ll use x to represent the mystery number.

“Sixteen less than” means subtraction, so we have 16 -

“Less than a number” simply means 16 - x

“Equals - 19” sets 16 - x equal to -19. In other words, 16 - x = -19

To solve, we subtract 16 to get x alone:

-x = -35

Divide the entire equation by -1 to make x positive:

-1(-x = -35) leaves us with x = 35

Solve the quadratic equation for x. What is one of the roots? (x + 6)^2 = 49
stich3 [128]

Answer:

x equals -1 and it also equals -13. They are both considered the roots.

Step-by-step

  1. (x+6)^2= 49    to get rid of the exponent square root each side of the equation.
  2. (x+6)= √49     Find square root of 49.
  3. (x+6)= ±7        It could be positive 7 or -7 because both of them squared equal 49. Now solve for each possible equation, (x+6)= 7 and  (x+6)=-7.
  4. (x+6)=7  subtract 6 from each side.
  5. x= 1
  6. (x+6)=-7  Subtract 6 from each side.
  7. x=-13
  8. So the answers are -13 and 1.
