Let x = your number.

5x = x^2 - 14. To figure out the number, we have to first subtract 5x from each side.

0 = x^2 - 5x - 14. Factor.

0 = (x - 7) (x + 2). Set both terms to 0.

(x - 7) = 0. Add 7 to each side.

x = 7. You're looking for the negative value so this isnt the right one.

Set the other term (x + 2) equal to 0

(x + 2) = 0. Subtract 2 from each side.

x = -2

The negative solution for your number is -2

1. Y varies inversely with x. If y = 9 when x = -5, find the value of x when y=-6.
Gelneren [198K]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

1 )  Y∝ 1 / X

Y = k / X

Y = 9 , X = -5

Putting the values in the relation above

9 = k / - 5

k = -45

Y = - 45 / X

Put Y = - 6

- 6 = - 45 / X

X = - 45 / -6

= 7.5

Luke and Nora can peel 12 carrots in 5 minutes

in 1 minute Luke and Nora can peel 12 / 5 carrot

in 1 minute Luke alone   can peel 12/ 11 carrot .

In 1 minute Nora alone will peel (12 / 5 -  12/ 11  ) carrot

(12 / 5 -  12 / 11  )

= 2.4 - 1.1

= 1.3 carrot

In 1 minute Nora alone will peel 1.3 carrot

1.3 carrot in 1 minute

8 carrot in 8 / 1.3 minute

= 6.15 minutes.

In 1 minute Nora alone will peel 8 carrot in 6.15 minutes working alone.

Point N is on line segment MO. Given MN = x, MO = 3x - 6,
finlep [7]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

N is between points M and O

MN = x

MO = 3x - 6

NO = x + 1

The way it reads MN + NO = MO

x + x + 1 = 3x - 6

2x + 1 = 3x - 6

2x - 2x +1 = 3x -2x - 6

1 = x - 6          

1 + 6 = x

x = 7

MO = 3x - 6

MO = 3*7 - 6

MO = 21 - 6

MO = 15
