The answer is d (i.e. 51).
the first 9 pages utilize 9 digits. the remaining 21 pages utilize two digits number. Therefore,
21*2=42
the total is 42+9=51

If a number added to five is divided by the difference of the number and two, the result is three-fourths. Find the number.

alexandr1967 [171]

Answer:

x = - 26

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number be x.

According to the question,

$\frac{x+5}{x-2} = \frac{3}{4}\\$

Cross multiplying 4 & 3 gives :-

$4(x+5)=3(x-2)$

And solving this eqn. gives :-

$4(x+5)=3(x-2)\\=> 4x+20=3x-6\\=>4x-3x=-20-6\\=>x=-26$

Verification :-

(putting the value of x = -26 )

$\frac{x+5}{x-2} \\\\=>\frac{-26+5}{-26-2} \\\\=> \frac{-21}{-28} \\\\=>\frac{21}{28}$

Reducing $\frac{21}{28}$ by 7 gives $\frac{3}{4}$ .

Dasfghg help me!!!!!!

Completing the square
alrighty
minus 31 both sides
x²+12x=-31
take 1/2 of the linear coefient and square it
12 is the linear coefient
12/2=6, (6)²=36
add that to both sides
x²+12x+36=36-31
factor perfect square trinomial
(x+6)²=5
square root both sides, remember to take positive and negative root

x+6=+/-√5

so what you want to write is
x+6=√5 and
x+6=-√5

the solutions
minus 6 both sides

x=-6+√5 and -6-√5
