Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number be x

x² + 2x = 3

x² + 2x - 3 = 0

Product = -3

Sum =2

Factors = 3 * (-1)

x² + 3x - x - 3 = 0

x*(x+3) - (x + 3) = 0

(x + 3)(x - 1) = 0

Ignore x + 3 because the number is a positive number

x - 1 = 0

x = 1

The number is 1

Solve the inequality -2(z + 5) + 20 7 6.

Romashka-Z-Leto [24]

Answer:

z<2

Step-by-step explanation:

-2(z + 5) + 20 > 6

Subtract 20 from each side

-2(z + 5) + 20 -20 > 6-20

-2(z + 5) > -14

Divide each side by -2 remembering to flip the inequality

-2/ -2(z + 5) < -14/-2

z+5 < 7

Subtract 5 from each side

z+5-5 < 7-5

z<2

Answer:

omigosh hope she gets better i will look at the pdf and solve

Step-by-step explanation:

okay so for most of them you can just multiply by the denominator to turn it into a regular number (to get it out of fraction form) and then use basic algebra to solve for x. I 'll write the answers to problems 1-9 in the comments
