Thrice the difference between X and 4 is less than 9

1 answer:

4 0

Thrice means three, so 3 times the difference of x and 4.

3(x - 4) < 9
multiply 3 by all in parentheses
(3*x) + (3*-4) < 9
3x - 12 < 9
add 12 to both sides
3x < 21
divide both sides by 3
x < 7

ANSWER: x < 7

Hope this helps! :)

The sum of the square of a positive number and the square of 44 more than the number is 8080. what is the number?

mash [69]

Let the number be x, therefore, its square is x², and 44 more than the number is x+44 whose square is (x+4)².
Thus the sum will be x² + (x+44)²² = 8080
x² + x² + 88x + 1936= 8080 Combining the right terms
2x² + 8x - 6144 = 0 dividing by 2
x² + 44x - 3072 =0 solving for x
x = 37.6 or -81.6
Therefore, the positive number is 37.6
