When 6 is subtracted from the square of a number, the result is 5 times the number, then the negative solution is -1

<h3><u>Solution:</u></h3>

Given that when 6 is subtracted from the square of a number, the result is 5 times the number

To find: negative solution

Let "a" be the unknown number

Let us analyse the given sentence

square of a number = $a^2$

6 is subtracted from the square of a number = $a^2 - 6$

5 times the number = $5 \times a$

<em><u>So we can frame a equation as:</u></em>

6 is subtracted from the square of a number = 5 times the number

$a^2 - 6 = 5 \times a\\\\a^2 -6 -5a = 0\\\\a^2 -5a -6 = 0$

<em><u>Let us solve the above quadratic equation</u></em>

For a quadratic equation $ax^2 + bx + c = 0$ where $a \neq 0$

$x=\frac{-b \pm \sqrt{b^{2}-4 a c}}{2 a}$

Here in this problem,

$a^2-5 a-6=0 \text { we have } a=1 \text { and } b=-5 \text { and } c=-6$

Substituting the values in above quadratic formula, we get

$\begin{array}{l}{a=\frac{-(-5) \pm \sqrt{(-5)^{2}-4(1)(-6)}}{2 \times 1}} \\\\ {a=\frac{5 \pm \sqrt{25+16}}{2}=\frac{5 \pm \sqrt{49}}{2}} \\\\ {a=\frac{5 \pm 7}{2}}\end{array}$

We have two solutions for "a"

$\begin{array}{l}{a=\frac{5+7}{2} \text { and } a=\frac{5-7}{2}} \\\\ {a=\frac{12}{2} \text { and } a=\frac{-2}{2}}\end{array}$

We have asked negative solution. So a = -1

Thus the negative solution is -1

Gwen, Tristan, and Keith like to work out at the gym. They each have an app on their phone that estimates the calories they burn

aleksandrvk [35]

Answer:

Part A:

Gwen has already burned 100 calories when Tristan and Keith started, and he continues to burn 10 calories per minute. The equation for Gwen is

y = 100 + 10x

Part B:

Tristan is burning 125 calories every 10 minutes. His burning calories rate is 12.5 calories per minute. The equation for Tristan is

y = 12.5x

Part C:

Keith is burning 300 calories in 30 minutes. His rate per minute is 10 calories per minute. The equation for Keith is

y = 10x

Part D:

Just follow the instructions and do the thing for the app. You can then answer the questions it is very easy.

Part E:

Do the same for E after you do Part D.

Step-by-step explanation:

Hope it helps!

Translate the following words to algebra symbols, using "n" as the variable. The product of six and a number is 24.

sveta [45]

So n will be the unknown, and the expression is:
6n = 24
from where we can find the number n:
n = 24/6
n = 4
