The number is x

it is negative
the square is 28 more than 3 times itself
x²=28+3x
minus (28+3x)
x²-3x-28=0
factor
(x-7)(x+4)=0
set to zero

x-7=0
x=7
this is not the answer because we were told the number was negative


x+4=0
x=-4
correct

the number is -4
test
(-4)²=28+3(-4)
16=28-12
16=16
check


the number is -4

Solve the equation. show all work<br><br> 18^(r-10)=93
Elina [12.6K]
Recall the logarithm rules :

a^y = x  is the same as log_a x = y

In this case, 

a = 18
y = r - 10
x = 93

So,

18^ (r-10) = 93

is the same as

log_18  93 = r - 10

Solve for r to get :

10 + log_18  93 = r

Write an equation in slope-intercept form for the line that satisfies the following condition.
juin [17]

Answer:

d. y= 5x+18

Step-by-step explanation:

y=mx+b is slope intercept form

Now we plug in the information given to us which is slope(m) is 5 and a point (x,y) which is (2,28).

So by substituting we get 28=5(2)+b

simplify to 28=10+b and when we subtract 10 from both sides to isolate 'b', we get that b = 18.

So now we use the values of slope(m) and the y-intercept(b) to write the equation:

y=5x+18
