Answer:

l = (S - 2wh)/(2w + 2h)

Step-by-step explanation:

S = 2lw + 2wh + 2hl

S - 2wh = 2lw + 2hl

S - 2wh = l (2w + 2h)

(S - 2wh)/(2w + 2h) = l

when 6 is subtracted from the square of a number, the result is 5 times the number. Find the negative solution.

sveta [45]

When 6 is subtracted from the square of a number, the result is 5 times the number, then the negative solution is -1

<h3><u>Solution:</u></h3>

Given that when 6 is subtracted from the square of a number, the result is 5 times the number

To find: negative solution

Let "a" be the unknown number

Let us analyse the given sentence

square of a number = $a^2$

6 is subtracted from the square of a number = $a^2 - 6$

5 times the number = $5 \times a$

<em><u>So we can frame a equation as:</u></em>

6 is subtracted from the square of a number = 5 times the number

$a^2 - 6 = 5 \times a\\\\a^2 -6 -5a = 0\\\\a^2 -5a -6 = 0$

<em><u>Let us solve the above quadratic equation</u></em>

For a quadratic equation $ax^2 + bx + c = 0$ where $a \neq 0$

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

Here in this problem,

$a^2-5 a-6=0 \text { we have } a=1 \text { and } b=-5 \text { and } c=-6$

Substituting the values in above quadratic formula, we get

$\begin{array}{l}{a=\frac{-(-5) \pm \sqrt{(-5)^{2}-4(1)(-6)}}{2 \times 1}} \\\\ {a=\frac{5 \pm \sqrt{25+16}}{2}=\frac{5 \pm \sqrt{49}}{2}} \\\\ {a=\frac{5 \pm 7}{2}}\end{array}$

We have two solutions for "a"

$\begin{array}{l}{a=\frac{5+7}{2} \text { and } a=\frac{5-7}{2}} \\\\ {a=\frac{12}{2} \text { and } a=\frac{-2}{2}}\end{array}$

We have asked negative solution. So a = -1

Thus the negative solution is -1

Why is x=6 a solution to the proportion 192/36=32/x

Norma-Jean [14]

Answer:

They're both equal each other!

Step-by-step explanation:

Because 32/6 is 5.33... on the calculator and when you divide 192/36 is 5.33 and so on. X = 6 is the solution because both of these divisors equal each other!!! Hope this helps!
