Write the word problem in algebraic form:
n2 -14 = 5n
Write as a quadratic:
n2 - 5n - 14 = 0
Factor:
(n+2)(n-7) = 0
Solve:
n+2 = 0 => n = -2
n-7 = 0 => n = 7
positive solution is 7. (14 less than 72 = 35 which is also 5 times 7)
P+5m+2p+8
I believe.
Simply apply the rule of distributive property.
Answer:
x=8
Step-by-step explanation:
2x-6+4=14
Combine like terms
2x-2=14
Add 2
2x=16
Divide
x=8
Checking work)
2(8)-2=14
16-2=14
14=14
H < 1 I think that's the answer
