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

Mathematics

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.

​Together, teammates Pedro and Ricky got 2673 base hits last season. Pedro had 277 more hits than Ricky. How many hits did each
ioda

Answer:

Pedro got 1520 base hits and Ricky got 1243.

Step-by-step explanation:

This question can be solved by a system of equations.

I am going to say that:

x is the number of base hits that Pedro got.

y is the number of base hits that Ricky got.

Pedro and Ricky got 2673 base hits last season.

This means that x + y = 2763

Pedro had 277 more hits than Ricky.

This means that x = y + 277

Replacing in the first equation

x + y = 2763

y + 277 + y = 2763

2y = 2486

y = \frac{2486}{2}

y = 1243

x = y + 277 = 1243 + 277 = 1520

Pedro got 1520 base hits and Ricky got 1243.
