Answer:

The number is 16

Step-by-step explanation:

3/4 n- (-16) = 28

3/4 n + 16 = 28

Subtract 16 from each side

3/4 n +16-16 = 28-16

3/4 n =12

Multiply by 4/3 to isolate n

4/3 * 3/4 n = 12 * 4/3

n = 16

3x to the power of 3 + 21x squared + 36x = 0 by factoring the quadratic equation.

Diano4ka-milaya [45]

Answer:

x = 0, -4 and -3.

Step-by-step explanation:

The given expression is "3x to the power of 3 + 21x squared + 36x = 0".

We can write this expression as follows :

$3x^3+21x^2+36x=0$

Taking 3x common.

$3x(x^2+7x+12)=0\\\\3x=0\ \text{and}\ (x^2+7x+12)=0$

x = 3

$x^2+7x+12=0\\\\x^2+3x+4x+12=0\\\\x(x+3)+4(x+3)=0\\\\(x+4)(x+3)=0\\\\x=-4,-3$

Hence, the solution of the given quadratic equation are x = 0, -4 and -3.

Answer:

x=10 n=18.5 s=6

Step-by-step explanation:

4x-10=30

Add 10 to both sides

4x-10+10=30+10

4x=40

Divide by 4 on both sides

(4x)/4=40/4

x=10

2n-7=30

Add 7 to both sides

2n-7+7=30+7

2n=37

Divide by 2 on both sides

(2n)/2=37/2

n=18.5

(s/3)+2=4

Subtract 2 from both sides

(s/3)+2-2=4-2

(s/3)=2

Multiply by 3 on both sides

3s/3=2*3

s=6
