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.

1 - 3x = 3x + 1 solve for x

lakkis [162]

Answer: x = 0

Step-by-step explanation:

1 - 3x = 3x + 1

then add 3x on both sides

1 = 6x + 1

then subtract 1 on both sides

0 = 6x

then divide by 6 on both sides

0 = x

so x = 0

rodikova [14]

The error bars are used to indicate the variability of the data presented in a graph.

There are several quantities that can be used to generate error bars in the graph. These are:

confidence interval

Usually, one standard deviation above and below the mean is used although it is advised to indicate which variability data is used to generate the error bars in the graph since the 3 quantity given are not equal.
