The square of a positive number increased by twice the number equals three. Find the number

Mathematics
1 answer:
koban [17]3 years ago
8 0

Answer:

1

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

A geologist visits 90 volcanoes in Alaska and California​
Viktor [21]

Answer:

40 volcanoes = 100% of them           15% were in California so if we want to know how much % were in Alaska we do 100% - 15% which equals 85%, so 85% were in Alaska.      Now to find out how many the geologist visited in each state multiply 40 by the percentage.       Number of volcanoes in California = 15% of 40 volcanoes = 0.15 x 40 = 6Number of volcanoes in Alaska = 85% of 40 volcanoes 0.85 x 40 = 34

What is the measure of angle NOP
White raven [17]

For any inscribed quadrilateral, the opposite angles add to 180

(angle PMN) + (angle NOP) = 180

(8x-24) + (4x) = 180

12x-24 = 180

12x-24+24 = 180+24  ..... add 24 to both sides

12x = 204

12x/12 = 204/12 ..... divide both sides by 12

x = 17

angle NOP = 4x

angle NOP = 4*17

<h3>angle NOP = 68 degrees</h3>
