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

Jim washes 2/3 of his car with 1/2 a bottle of soap. What fraction of the soap will he use to clean his entire car?​
Sunny_sXe [5.5K]

Answer:

if he uses 1/2 for 2/3, then you can divide 2/3 and 1.2 by 2 to get the remaining soap needed to complete the wash

so to clean the last 1/3 of the car, he`ll use 1/4 of the remaining soap

the entire car needs <u><em>3/4 of a bottle of soap</em></u>

25 Points!!! This should be quick and easy for anyone who knows math well!
Ede4ka [16]

Answer:

Output = 8- input

Step-by-step explanation:

The first point is  (1,7)

The input is 1 and the output is 7

The lines goes down, so we know that this is subtraction

Output = 8- input

7 = 8-1

Lets check another point

(5,3)

3 = 8-5

This checks
