6 times a number is 27 less than the square of that number. Find the positive solution.

Mathematics

Verdich [7]3 years ago

Let x = your number.

6x = x^2 - 27. Subtract 6x from each side.

0 = x^2 - 6x - 27. Factor

0 = (x-9) (x+3). Set each term equal to zero

(x+3) = 0. Subtract 3 from each side.

x = -3. This is the negative solution.

(x-9) = 0. Add 9 to each side.

x = 9. This is the positive solution.

Use the Distributive Property to write an expression that is<br> equivalent to 4(y - 3).
Nonamiya [84]

Answer:

4y-12

Step-by-step explanation:

To multiply a sum (or difference) by a factor, each summand (or minuend and subtrahend) is multiplied by this factor and the resulting products are added (or subtracted).

If the operation outside the parentheses (in this case, the multiplication) is commutative, then left-distributivity implies right-distributivity and vice versa, and one talks simply of distributivity.

Nonamiya [84]
Answer: 28

Since we know there is a pattern of 20, 22, 24, and 26, we can see that there is a difference between each of the numbers of +2. Therefore, 26 + 2 = 28
