18+13=31, so Carmine must have 18 apples, and 5 less then her is the number of apples Rachel has. So, Rachel has 13 apples +/-.
Translating into a mathematical equation:
n + n^2 = 72
Rewriting, n^2 + n - 72 = 0
Factoring, (n+9)(n-8) = 0
Solving for n: n = -9 or n = 8
You must check both answers before accepting one, the other or both.
Example: suppose we check out n = 8. Then 8 + 8^2 = 72 is true, and n = 8 is a solution. Is n = -9 a solution? Try it.
Answer:
y = x - 6
Step-by-step explanation:
the slope-intercept form for any line is y = mx + b, where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept.
now, let's calculate the slope:
1-2/7-8= -1/-1 = 1
here is the equation we currently have solved: y = x + b
now we have to solve for the y-intercept. to do this, we substitute one of the given points into the equation, and solve for b.
let's use (8, 2). in this ordered pair, the 8 is the x, and the 2 is the y.
2= 8 +b
2 -8=b
b=-6
and now we have our final equation!
y = x - 6
