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

<h3>Solution:</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 = $5 \times a$

So we can frame a equation as:

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

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

Let us solve the above quadratic equation

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

Please find the perpendicular line slope equation please! Thanks!

lana66690 [7]

We need to convert this equation to slope-intercept form first.

We can do that by solving for y.

x - 5y = 15

Add 5y to both sides.

x = 5y + 15

Subtract 15 from both sides.

x - 15 = 5y

Divide both sides by 5.

y = 1/5x - 3

We now know the slope is 1/5.

The slope of the line perpendicular to the line with a slope of 1/5 is -5.

The slope of a perpendicular line is the negative reciprocal of the original slope.

Using a graphing calculator, we know the y-intercept of the line that is perpendicular to the original line must have a y-intercept of -6 to run through the points (-2, 5).

The equation of the new line is y = -5x - 6.

Probability of pulling a green marble out of a bag of coloured marble is 2:5 if you were to pull coloured marbles out of the bag

Slav-nsk [51]

Answer: 171 green marbles

Step-by-step explanation: There are 7 total marbles so 100/7 equals 14.28

Then there is a 2 out of 7 total tries so 14.28 * 2 equals 28.57% chance to get a green marble.

600 * 0.2857 = 171.41 marbles but you cant get half a marble so 171 green marbles.
