Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The idea here is to be able to write and then solve the equation needed for this. In words, this is what you are looking to solve: "The active ingredinet is 45% of the mass of the pill". Putting those words into an equation:

active ingredient = .45 (mass of pill). Since our active ingredient is 35 mg:

325 = .45m and divide by .45:

m = 722.2 mg

1 big right triangle

1 rectangle

1 small right triangle

Big right triangle:

area = (4*4)/2 = 16/2 = 8units²

Rectangle:

area = 2*1 = 2units²

Small right triangle:

area = (2*2)/2 = 2units²

Total area

When the sum of \, 528 \, and three times a positive number is subtracted from the square of the number, the result is \, 120. F

aleksandr82 [10.1K]

Let $x$ be the unknown number. So, three times that number means $3x$ , and the square of the number is $x^2$

We have to sum 528 and three times the number, so we have $528+3x$

Then, we have to subtract this number from $x^2$ , so we have

$x^2-(3x+528)$

The result is 120, so the equation is

$x^2 - 3x - 528 = 120 \iff x^2 - 3x - 648 = 0$

This is a quadratic equation, i.e. an equation like $ax^2+bx+c=0$ . These equation can be solved - assuming they have a solution - with the following formula
