Question:

The square of a number decreased by 3 times the number is 28 find all possible values for the number  

Answer:

The possible values of number are 7 and -4

Solution:

Given that the square of a number decreased by 3 times the number is 28

To find: all possible values of number

Let "a" be the unknown number

From given information,

square of a number decreased by 3 times the number = 28

a^2 - 3a = 28

a^2 - 3a - 28 = 0

Let us solve the above quadratic equation

\text {For a quadratic equation } a x^{2}+b x+c=0, \text { where } a \neq 0

x=\frac{-b \pm \sqrt{b^{2}-4 a c}}{2 a}

Using the above formula,

\text { For } a^{2}-3 a-28=0 \text { we have } a=1, b=-3, c=-28

\begin{aligned}&a=\frac{-(-3) \pm \sqrt{(-3)^{2}-4(1)(-28)}}{2 \times 1}\\\\&a=\frac{3 \pm \sqrt{9+112}}{2}\\\\&a=\frac{3 \pm \sqrt{121}}{2}=\frac{3 \pm 11}{2}\\\\&a=\frac{3+11}{2} \text { or } a=\frac{3-11}{2}\\\\&a=7 \text { or } a=-4\end{aligned}

Thus the possible values of number are 7 and -4

A 14.5-gallon gasoline tank is full. How many gallons will it take to fill the tank? Write your answer as a mixed number.
Elena L [17]

Answer:

it will take 3 5/8 of gas to fill the tank

Step-by-step explanation:

14 1/2 - 10 7/8 can be re-written using improper fractions

29/2 - 87/8 We need a common denominator, which is 8

116/8 - 87/8 = 29/8 = 3 5/8 gal

Answers this for me plzzz really quickly????
poizon [28]

It is not A or C, and D isn't specific enough (over what amount of time? is it flying up? down? It is going forward at the same height?) The most likely thing to stay consistent is the cost of fabric and it's length.

Say 1 foot of fabric is $3 (assuming there's no discount for additional feet, but math isn't that consistent with actual store sales), then 2 is $6, and 3 is $9.  That is a constant rate of change.

Which equation has no solution?
RUDIKE [14]

Answer: B

Step-by-step explanation:

4(x+3)+2x=6(x+2)

4x+12+2x=6x+12

6x+12=6x+12

12=12

All real solutions

5+2(3+2x)=x+3(x+1)

5+6+4x=x+3x+3

11+4x=4x+3

11=3

No solution
