A negative number is 42 less than it’s square.

Mathematics

4 0

Answer:

Let x = the number

A negative number is 42 less than its square ⇒

x = x2 - 42

x2 - x - 42 = 0

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

x = 7 or -6

But since it is given that x is negative, the final answer is x = -6.

X+y+2=-5 -2x-y+2=-1 x-2y-2=0 solve algebraically
Rina8888 [55]

Answer:

x+y+2=-5 -2x-y+2=-1 x-2y-2=0 solve algebraically

x+y+2=-5     equation 1

-2x-y+2=-1    equation 2

x-2y-2=0      equation 3

Add equation 1 + 2+ 3

x+y+2=-5 + -2x-y+2+1 + x-2y-2

x+y+2= -7+2+1-2x+x+y

x+y+2= -4-x+y

x+y+2+4+x-y= 0

2x+6= 0

2x= -6

divide both side by 2

x= -3

from equation 1 insert x

x+y+2=-5

since x=-3

then, -3+2+y= -5

-1+y= -5

y= -5+1

y= -4

Use the coordinates of the plotted points to complete the calculation below. Pay attention to negative signs.
MArishka [77]

Answer:

  • 3
  • 1
  • -3
  • 1
  • -3

Step-by-step explanation:

The <em>change in y</em> is the difference in y-coordinates between the lower right point and the upper left point. Similarly, the <em>change in x</em> is the difference in the x-coordinates of those points.

  \text{Slope}=\dfrac{\text{change in y}}{\text{change in x}}=\dfrac{\boxed{3}-6}{2-\boxed{1}}\\\\=\dfrac{\boxed{-3}}{\boxed{1}}\\\\\\=\boxed{-3}
