Let's name the number 'n'. Now write an equation. 7*n +n^2 =12Now you can form a quadratic. n^2 +7n-12=0. Now you can use a myriad of methods to solve it. If you still need help, just message me.

At the end of the summer, Caitlin had saved $120 from her summer job. This was her initial deposit into a new savings account at

Vera_Pavlovna [14]

Let x = represent the number of weeks of deposits
A = 120 + 5x the account balance after x weeks
The account balance is directly proportional to the number of weeks of deposits if:
A/x = constant
(120 + 5x)/x = 120/x + 5 is not a constant
For example:
After 1 week there will be: 120 + 1*5 = $125 on the account
After 2 week there will be: 120 + 2*5 = $130 on the account
After 3 week there will be: 120 + 3*5 = $135 on the account
But 125/1 <> 130/2 <> 135/3
The account balance is not proportional to the number of weeks of deposits.

If f(x) = 3x^2 – 2 and g(x) = 2x + 4, find (f- g)(x).

Andreas93 [3]

Answer:

(f - g)(x) = 3x² - 2x - 6

General Formulas and Concepts:

Pre-Alg

Order of Operations: BPEMDAS

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Define

f(x) = 3x² - 2

g(x) = 2x + 4

(f - g)(x) is f(x) - g(x)

Step 2: Evaluate

Substitute: (f - g)(x) = 3x² - 2 - (2x + 4)
Distribute -1: (f - g)(x) = 3x² - 2 - 2x - 4
Combine like terms: (f - g)(x) = 3x² - 2x - 6
