The product of some negative number and 4 less than twice that number is 336. Find the number.

Let the number be 'x'

Since, the product of number and 4 less than twice that number is 336.

x \times [(2 \times x) -4] = 336

x[2x -4] = 336

2x^2 -4x- 336=0

x^2-2x-168=0

Now, we will split the middle term, we get

x^2-14x+12x-168=0

x(x-14)+12(x-14)=0

(x-14)(x+12)=0

So, (x-14)=0 or (x+12)=0

So, x = 14 or x = -12

Therefore, the negative number is '-12'.

Roberto is 3 years older than Carolyn. In 7 years the sum of their ages will be 81. How old is Roberto now?
Nuetrik [128]

Answer: 35

the age of Roberto is x (x > 3)(x ∈ N)

because Roberto is 3 years older than Carolyn => the age of Carolyn is x - 3

in 7 years, the age of Roberto is x + 7; the age of Carolyn is x - 3 + 7 = x + 4

because  In 7 years the sum of their ages will be 81 =>

x + 7 + x + 4 = 81

⇔ 2x + 11 = 81

⇔ 2x = 70

⇔ x = 70/2 = 35

=>  the age of Roberto is 35

Can you help me solve this please​

Answer:

  180 days

Step-by-step explanation:

The formulas for the volume of a cone and a cylinder are ...

  V = πr²h . . . . . volume of a cone

  V = (1/3)πr²h . . . . . volume of a cylinder

Comparing these formulas, you can see that the 6' high cone at the top will have the same volume as a cylinder of the same radius that is 2' high. So, we can simplify the problem to finding the volume of a cylinder that is 66+2 = 68' high.

  V = π(12 ft)²(68 ft) = 9792π ft³ ≈ 30752.5 ft³

When the corn is used at the rate of 170 ft³/day, it will last ...

  (30752.5 ft³)/(170 ft³/day) ≈ 180.96 days

The corn will last 180 days.

_____

<em>Additional comment</em>

In scenarios like this, it is inappropriate to round up. There will be about 162 ft³ of corn left after 180 days, which is not enough for an additional day.
