If a number is increased by its square, the result is 72 find the number

Mathematics
1 answer:
gregori [183]2 years ago
8 0
Translating into a mathematical equation:

n + n^2 = 72

Rewriting,    n^2 + n - 72 = 0
Factoring,    (n+9)(n-8) = 0
Solving for n:  n = -9 or n = 8

You must check both answers before accepting one, the other or both.

Example:  suppose we check out n = 8.  Then  8 + 8^2 = 72 is true, and n = 8 is a solution.  Is n = -9 a solution?  Try it.

RS = 4x – 9, ST = 19, RT = 80 – 14<br><br> Equation:<br><br> 82 – 14<br><br> RS<br><br> RT
algol13

Step-by-step explanation:

The expressions are not properly written

Given

RS = 4x – 9

ST = 19

RT = 8x – 14

Based on the given parameters, the addition postulate below is true

RS+ST = RT

Substitute

4x-9+19 = 8x-14

collect like terms

4x-8x = -14-19+9

-4x = -33+9

-4x = -24

x = -24/-4

x = 6

Get RS:

RS = 4x-9

RS = 4(6)- 9

RS = 24-9

RS = 15

Get RT:

RT = 8x - 14

RT = 8(6)-14

RT = 48-14

RT = 34
