Answer: The answer is 8.
Step-by-step explanation: The first step is to convert the expression into figures. We shall call the unknown number Y. So if we are told “the square of a number,” that means Y squared, or better still, Y^2. Further we are told “the difference between the square of a number and 40” and that can be written as;
Y^2 - 40.
Next we are told that this expression is equal to 3 times that number (that is 3Y). That can now be written out as follows,
Y^2 - 40 = 3Y
If we move all expressions to one side of the equation, what we would have is,
Y^2 - 3Y -40 = 0
(Remember that when a positive value crosses to the other side of an equation it becomes negative and vice versa)
We now have a quadratic equation
Y^2 -3Y - 40 = 0
By factorizing we now have
(Y -8) (Y + 5) = 0
Therefore Y - 8 = 0 or
Y + 5 = 0
Hence, Y = 8 or Y = -5
Since we are asked to calculate the positive solution, Y = 8
Answer:
1.05(0.85y)
Step-by-step explanation:
15% off so .85y and a 5% tax so 1.05(.85y)
Answer:
The value of a + 2z/ 2 in terms of a is (3a+4)/2
Step-by-step explanation:
least of 3 consecutive integers is a, and the greatest is z
if a is the least one
we know that integers differ by value of 1.
example -2, -1, 0, 1,2
they all differ by
then next consecutive integer will be a+1
third integer will be second integer +1 = a+1 + 1 = a+2
Thus, 3 consecutive integer
a , a+1, a+2
but given that greatest is z
thus, a+2 is greatest and hence
a+2 = z
we have to find value of a + 2z/ 2 in terms of a
a + 2z/ 2 = a + 2(a+2)/2 = (a+ 2a +4)/2 = (3a+4)/2.
The value of a + 2z/ 2 in terms of a is (3a+4)/2
Answer:
t $9.50 of it is quarters and 30 cents of it is dimes so 3 dimes
Step-by-step explanation:
To find a missing side of a right triangle use the Pythagorean theorem
A2+b2=c2
C is the hypotenuse (long side)
Plug into the equation
11^2+b2=12^2
121+b2=144
So subtract 144-121 to get the missing side you get 23
Take the square root
It will be 4.7
If they want it rounded
X=5
If I had any mistakes in my answer I am sorry but everything should be correct
