Answer: 3x-6
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the number be x
3 times the number is 3x
6 less than 3x is 3x-6
Step-by-step explanation:
First, we define the variables:
x: number of years after 1950
f (x): amount of vinyl sold.
Then, with the variables defined, we have:
68594 vinyl records were sold in 1958 ---------> f (8) = 68594
91299 vinyl records were sold in 1961 ---------> f (11) = 91299
38720 vinyl records were sold in 1952 ---------> f (2) = 38720
161743 vinyl records were sold in 1967 ---------> f (17) = 161743
Actually, yes, it is possible for two different numbers to give the same result when squared.
In my last answer, I wrote that it wasn't, but I realize now where my mistake was made.
When a number like positive 4 is squared, the answer is 16. When a number like negative 4 is squared, the answer is also 16. I think that the only time when two different squared numbers have the same result is when they are the same number but have a different positive/negative sign.
I hope this helps.
