Answer:

The number is 14.

Step-by-step explanation:

Assuming that x is the number that we are looking for, then it is first doubled "2x", if it's taken away from 10 we have "10 - 2x" and this is equal to -18. Therefore we have the expression:

10 - 2x = -18

-2x = -18 -10

-2x = -28

x = -28/-2

x = 14

The number is 14.

Select all of the following that are quadratic equations.
goldenfox [79]

Answer:

1. x² + 3x - 5 = 0

2. x² - x = 3 x + 7

4. 7x² + 14x = 0

Step-by-step explanation:

A Quadratic equation takes the form;

ax² + bx + c = 0

a, b, c are constants and a cannot be 0.

Options 1 fits this;

x² + 3x - 5 = 0

Option 2 fits this as well;

x² - x = 3 x + 7  

x² -x - 3x - 7 = 0

x² - 4x - 7 = 0

Option 4 fits this as well if c = 0.

7x² + 14x + 0 = 0

In one year there are 365 days of 24 hours. Each hour has 60 minutes and each minute is 60 seconds long. So, 60s/min x 60 min/hr x 24hr/day x 365 days equals 31,536,000s.
