Answer:

a. 53.4

b. 24.4

Step-by-step explanation:

a+j=77.8

j=a-29

a+j=77.8

-a+j=-29

2j=48.8

j=24.4

a+24.4=78.8

a=53.4

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

$x_{1,2} = \dfrac{-b\pm\sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a}$

If you plug the values from your equation, you have

$x_{1,2} = \dfrac{3\pm\sqrt{9-4\cdot(-648)}}{2} = \dfrac{3\pm\sqrt{9+2592}}{2} = \dfrac{3\pm\sqrt{2601}}{2} = \dfrac{3\pm51}{2}$

So, the two solutions would be

$x = \dfrac{3+51}{2} = \dfrac{54}{2} = 27$

$x = \dfrac{3-51}{2} = \dfrac{-48}{2} = -24$

But we know that x is positive, so we only accept the solution $x = 27$

Distribute -2(2x-1)(x+3), i forgot how to use the distributive property to check my work on factoring quadratics.

-2(2x-1)(x+3) = ((-2)2x - (-2)(-1))(x+3) = (-4x-2)(x+3)

To graph ( 0, 15 ) what is the only direction you will move

Dominik [7]

Answer:

you will only move 15 units up

Step-by-step explanation:

since the y is the only one that has a value, then you will have to focus more on the direction where the y will go. and since the y's value is positive then you will have to go upwards.
