Answer:

Hey there !

Solution:

Let the number be x

=> x + 2x² = 10

=> 2x² + x - 10 = 0

Factorising the quadratic equation we get,

=> 2x² + 5x - 4x - 10 = 0

=> x ( 2x + 5 ) -2 ( 2x + 5 ) = 0

=> ( x - 2 ) ( 2x + 5 ) = 0

=> x = 2, -5/2

Since x is a whole number, -5 / 2 wont be applicable.

Hence x = 2.

Hence the number is 2.

Hope my answer helped !

The perimeter of an equilateral triangle is 27 centimeters. Find the altitude of the triangle
Naily [24]
7.79cm It is an equilateral triangle so it has 3 equal sides. That means each side is 9cm. <span>
Now draw a line from the top of the equilateral triangle to the base, and dividing it into two. You will have made two smaller triangles, with sides 9, 4.5, and h (the one you want to find). 

A line drawn from the apex of an equilateral triangle to the midpoint of the base is perpendicular to the base, so you can use Pythagoras' Theorem! 

4.5^2 + h^2 = 9^2 
h = sqrt(9^2 - 4.5^2) 
Therefore, the height is 7.79cm (2 decimal places)</span><span>

Jake has finished pouring 4,865 cubic feet out of a total of 27,000 cubic feet of concrete. What percent of the job has he compl
anzhelika [568]
The total is the 100% and that is 27000, the question is what percentage is 4865
We can use a simple rule of three, direct proportion to solve:
27000 ft^3 --------> 100%
 4865 ft^3 ---------> x
x =(4865)(100)/27000
x = 18.02
therefore 4865 ft^3 is 18.02% of 27000 <span>ft^3</span>

Solve the equality, - (7c-18)-2c&gt;0
Gwar [14]
(7c-18)-2c>0

group like terms: 7c-2c-18>0

add similar elements: 7c-2c=5c
5c-18+18>0+18

Add 18 to both sides
5c-18+18>0+18

simplify
5c>18

divide both sides by 5
5c÷5>18/5

simplify
c>18/5
