3a=18

3a/3 = 18/ 3 ,divide 3 on both sides to isolate
a and to get 6.
a= 6

when 6 is subtracted from the square of a number, the result is 5 times the number. Find the negative solution.
sveta [45]

When 6 is subtracted from the square of a number, the result is 5 times the number, then the negative solution is -1

<h3><u>Solution:</u></h3>

Given that when 6 is subtracted from the square of a number, the result is 5 times the number

To find: negative solution

Let "a" be the unknown number

Let us analyse the given sentence

square of a number = a^2

6 is subtracted from the square of a number = a^2 - 6

5 times the number = 5 \times a

<em><u>So we can frame a equation as:</u></em>

6 is subtracted from the square of a number = 5 times the number

a^2 - 6 = 5 \times a\\\\a^2 -6 -5a = 0\\\\a^2 -5a -6 = 0

<em><u>Let us solve the above quadratic equation</u></em>

For a quadratic equation ax^2 + bx + c = 0 where a \neq 0

x=\frac{-b \pm \sqrt{b^{2}-4 a c}}{2 a}

Here in this problem,

a^2-5 a-6=0 \text { we have } a=1 \text { and } b=-5 \text { and } c=-6

Substituting the values in above quadratic formula, we get

\begin{array}{l}{a=\frac{-(-5) \pm \sqrt{(-5)^{2}-4(1)(-6)}}{2 \times 1}} \\\\ {a=\frac{5 \pm \sqrt{25+16}}{2}=\frac{5 \pm \sqrt{49}}{2}} \\\\ {a=\frac{5 \pm 7}{2}}\end{array}

We have two solutions for "a"

\begin{array}{l}{a=\frac{5+7}{2} \text { and } a=\frac{5-7}{2}} \\\\ {a=\frac{12}{2} \text { and } a=\frac{-2}{2}}\end{array}

<h3>a = 6 or a = -1</h3>

We have asked negative solution. So a = -1

Thus the negative solution is -1

What are the x and y-intercepts of the line described by this equation? -6x+3y=18.9?
Naddika [18.5K]

The "x" intercept is found when you plug in "0" for "y"
  -6x + 3(0) = 18.9
        -6x = 18.9  (Divide both sides by -6)
           x = - 3.15
           (-3.15, 0)  is your x-intercept

Now plug in "0" for the x
-6(0) + 3y = 18.9
          3y = 18.9  (Divide both sides by 3)
                y = 6.3
               (0, 6.3) is your y - intercept

Not sure how I would solve this
Simora [160]
<h3>Answer:   -6/5</h3>

Explanation:

The blue diagonal line goes through the two points (0,2) and (5,-4). These are shown as the dark blue enlarged points. You can pick any other points you want that are on the diagonal line, though these are the easiest as they stand out the most.

Use the slope formula to find the slope through these points

m = (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)

m = (-4-2)/(5-0)

m = (-6)/(5)

m = -6/5

The negative slope means the line goes downhill as you move from left to right along the diagonal line.
