The square of a number is 12 less than 7 times the number. What is the number?

hjlf

<u><em>Answer:</em></u>

The number is either 3 or 4

<u><em>Explanation:</em></u>

Assume that the number we are looking for is x

The square of the number would be x²

7 times the number would be 7x

<u>We are given that:</u>

square of the number (x²) is 12 less than 7 times the number (7x)

<u>Translating this into an equation, we would have:</u>

x² = 7x - 12

<u>Rearranging the quadratic equation:</u>

x² - 7x + 12 = 0

<u>Now, we factor the equation:</u>

(x-4)(x-3) = 0

<u>This means that:</u>

either x-4 = 0 ..................> x = 4

or x-3 = 0 ........................> x = 3

<u>Let's check if any of the solutions is an extrovert:</u>

For x = 3 .............> (3)² = 7(3) - 12 .........> 9 = 21 - 12 .......> 9 = 9 .......> not extrovert

For x = 4 .............> (4)² = 7(4) - 12 .........> 16 = 28 - 12 .....> 16 = 16 ....> not extrovert

Since we have no restrictions on the number, therefore, both solutions would be accepted

Hope this helps :)

A snail can move 1/30 miles in 1/3 hour. How fast does a snail move in miles /hours

bekas [8.4K]

Answer: 1/10 miles/hour

To find how fast a snail moves in miles per hour, we can find the unit rate using a proportion.

The unit rate is the amount per one unit. In this problem, the unit is for one hour. One way to find the unit rate is by using a proportion.

<h2>Proportions</h2>

Proportions look like two fractions set equal to each other with a missing variable to solve.

<h3>State our variables</h3>

let <em>x</em> be the number of miles per hour

<h3>Write a proportion</h3>

The first fraction has a number for the numerator (top) and denominator (bottom), because the question gives us the information. The second fraction has a missing value, <em>x</em>, that we are solving for. We can write <em>x</em> in the numerator.

$\displaystyle{\frac{\frac{1}{30}\ mi}{\frac{1}{3}\ hr} = \frac{x\ mi}{1\ hr}}$

<h2>Solve</h2>

We can solve by finding the scale factor. The scale factor is the number we can multiply the numerator by to find <em>x</em>.

<h3>Find the scale factor</h3>

Start with the proportion.

$\displaystyle{\frac{\frac{1}{30}\ mi}{\frac{1}{3}\ hr} = \frac{x\ mi}{1\ hr}}$

To find the scale factor,

Take the denominator from the fraction with a variable: $1\ hr$
Take the denominator from the fraction that has no variable: $\frac{1}{3}\ hr$
Divide step 1 by step 2 and solve: $1\ hr\ \div\ \frac{1}{3}\ hr = 3$

Our scale factor is <u>3</u>.

<h3>Solve for x</h3>

We can find <em>x</em> by multiplying the numerator in the first fraction by the scale factor. This is because <em>x</em> is also in the numerator.

$\displaystyle{\frac{\frac{1}{30}\ mi}{\frac{1}{3}\ hr} = \frac{(\frac{1}{30}\ mi)*3}{1\ hr}}$

$\displaystyle{\frac{\frac{1}{30}\ mi}{\frac{1}{3}\ hr} = \frac{\frac{3}{30}\ mi}{1\ hr}}$

Simplify 3/30 by dividing the fraction by 3.

$\displaystyle{\frac{\frac{1}{30}\ mi}{\frac{1}{3}\ hr} = \frac{\frac{1}{10}\ mi}{1\ hr}}$

x = 1/10

∴ a snail moves 1/10 miles per hour.

What is the image of (6,−3) after a dilation by a scale factor of 1/3 centered at the origin?

attashe74 [19]

Answer:

(2,-1)

Step-by-step explanation:

Multiply everything by 1/3:

6*1/3=2

-3*1/3=-1

This makes it smaller, so you know what the dilation is.
