4n² - 16n - 84 = 0
Multiply both sides by 1/4 :
n² - 4n - 21 = 0
Add 21 to both sides:
n² - 4n = 21
Complete the square by adding 4 to both sides:
n² - 4n + 4 = 25
(n - 2)² = 25
Solve for n :
n - 2 = ± √25
n - 2 = ± 5
n = 2 ± 5
Then n = 2 + 5 = 7 or n = 2 - 5 = -3.
Answer:
if the area of the base is 20 then the volume is 300 if it's 16 then it's 240 but if it's 25.6 then the volume is 384. I would give you a specific answer if the area of base was specified
Answer:
The inequality is incorrect.
Step-by-step explanation:
Plugging in the value for m (15) and solving, we find that the inequality cannot be correct, as 75 is greater than, NOT less than 72.
Answer:
8 and 9.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the two unknown numbers be a and b.
When added together, they equal 17. In other words:
a + b = 17.
The <em>difference</em> between five times the first number and three times the second number is 13. In other words:
5a - 3b = 13.
We have a system of equations. We can use substitution. From the first equation, we can derive a = 17 - b. Let's substitute this in:
5(17 - b) - 3b = 13
85 - 5b - 3b = 13
-8b = -72
b = 9
a = 17 - b.
a = 17 - 9 = 8.
Thus, the two numbers are 8 and 9.
