Sure, What's up! What kinda help do you need. Give me subjects grade level.
Answer:
x=-6
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x be the number
3x = x^2 -54
Subtract 3x
3x-3x = x^2 -3x-54
0 = x^2 -3x-54
Factor
What 2 numbers multiply to -54 and add to -3
-9*6 = -54
-9+6 = -3
0=(x-9) (x+6)
Using the zero product property
x-9=0 x+6=0
x=9 x=-6
The questions asks for the negative solution
x=-6
1 - 9
2 -28
3 54
4 -100
5 -60
6 0
7 49
8 -135
9 -96
10 300
11 0
12 192
If you're looking for the equation, the answer is y=2x-3
We know that the 15% of missing pencils is equal to 9
we can use this formula
9/x = 15/100
Then cross multiply
15x = 900
x = 60
There were orignally 60 pencils
