Answer:

-6 or 7.

Step-by-step explanation:

If the number is x, then:

x = x^2 - 42

x^2 - x - 42 = 0

( x - 7)(x + 6) = 0

x = -6, 7.

Find the slope of the line that passes through the given points.
12345 [234]

Finding the slope using two points:

The formula for slope is

\frac{y_{2}-y_{1}}{x_{2}-x_{1}}

In this case...

y_{2} =-7\\y_{1} =2\\x_{2} =4\\x_{1} =-3

^^^Plug these numbers into the formula for slope...

\frac{-7 - 2}{4 - (-3)}

\frac{-9}{6}

^^^Reduce this fraction

\frac{-3}{2}

^^^This is your slope

Hope this helped!

PLEASE HELP QUICK!!! WILL GIVE BRAINLIEST
aniked [119]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

You can use the Pythagorean Theorem to find the length of the third side AB (Identified as "x" in the figure attached in the problem), which says that in a right angled triangle, the square of the hypotenuse is equal to the sum of the squares of the legs:

a² = b²+c²

As we can see the figure, the triangle does not have an angle of 90°, but it can be divided into two equal parts, leaving two triangles with a right angle. We already have the values of the hypotenuse and a leg in triangle "A" , so we can find the value of the other leg:

b = √(a²-c²) b = √(10²-4²) b = 9.16

With these values, we can find the hypotenuse in the triangle "B": x = √b²+c² x = √(9.16)²+(4)² x = 10

A car uses one gallon of gasoline for every 20 miles it travels. If a gallon of gasoline costs $3.98, how much will the gas cost
9966 [12]

Answer: 36

Step-by-step explanation:

1.) You divide 180 by 20 to find out how many gallons their are

180÷20= 9

2.) Now you multiply the 9 by the cost of each gallon, which is $3.98

9×3.98= 35.82

3.) 35.82 is rounded to $36
