Fifteen less than the square of a number is the same
as twice the number. Find the number.

Answers

Answer 1

Call the number : a

We have : [tex]a^{2} - 15 = 2a[/tex]
[tex]- > a^{2} - 2a = 15 - > a(a-2) = 15[/tex]

Now, we list all the numbers that can be multiplied to get 15 :

1 x 15 (and reverse)
3 x 5 (and reverse)

-1 x (-15) (reverse)
-3 x (-5) (a l s o r e v e r s e)

We substitute in :

If a = 1 -> a(a-2) = 1 x (-1) = -1 (not equal 15)
If a = 3 -> a(a-2) = 3 x 1 = 3 (not equal 15)
If a = -1 -> a(a-2) = -1 x (-3) = -3 (also not equal 15)
And if a = -3 -> a(a-2) = -3 x (-5) = 15 (satisfied)

So, the number is -3

Recheck : -3(squared) - 15 = 9 - 15 = -6
Twice of -3 = -6

Answer 2
Hello!

[tex]========================================[/tex]

First of all, let the unknown number be z.

Then, "the square of z" means "z squared" which is the same as "z times z" or just z².

Now, "fifteen less than the square of z" means we subtract 15 from z²:

z²-15

Then, this equals twice the number, or 2 times z:

z²-15=2z

Step-by-step explanation:

Elissa uses 8.5 inches of thread per bracelet.

She has 40 inches of thread.

To find the maximum number of bracelets she can make, we need to divide.

Two sides of an isosceles triangle have lengths 12 and 18. What

Please help me.

Answers

The greatest possible value of the perimeter of the triangle is 48

What is the perimeter of a triangle?

The perimeter of a triangle is the sum of the lengths of the three sides of the triangle.

An isosceles triangle has 2 equal sides and the length of the 2 sides must be greater than the length of one.

Perimeter A= 12×2+18=42

Perimeter B= 12+18×2=48

Therefore the greatest possible perimeter of the triangle is Perimeter B (48) since the sum of lengths of the two equal sides(18) is greater than the third side (12) and 48 is greater than 42.

Step-by-step explanation:

Set the sides equal to each other, simplify and then use quadratic equation. One result is positive and the other is negative, shape's sides have to be positive so use the positive value for X.

Answer:

See below, please

Step-by-step explanation:

This square

[tex]3 {x}^{2} + 6x + 7 = 2 {x}^{2} - 2x + 27[/tex]

[tex](3 {x}^{2} - 2 {x}^{2} ) + (6x + 2x) + (7 - 27) = 0[/tex]

[tex] {x}^{2} + 8x - 20 = 0[/tex]

[tex](x + 10) \times (x - 2) = 0[/tex]

Hence,

[tex]x1 = 2[/tex]

[tex]x2 = - 10[/tex]

Because x is positive, So,

[tex]x = 2[/tex]

Then we know

The length of one of the sides

[tex] = 3 {x}^{2} + 6x + 7 = (3 \times {2}^{2}) + (6 \times 2) + 7 = (3 \times 4) + 12 + 7 = 31[/tex]

The area of the square

[tex] = {31}^{2} = 961[/tex]

The perimeter of the square

[tex] = 31 \times 4 = 124[/tex]

The cost of 3 scarves is $26.25. What is the unit price?
Answer : $8.75

Answers

Answer:

$8.75

8.75x3=26.25

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer:

$8.75

Step-by-step explanation:

To find out the unit price, take the whole and divide it by the number of units. In this case the whole cost is $26.25. There are 3 scarves in a whole. Divide $26.25 by 3 to find out the cost of the unit price. It is $8.75. Knowing how to figure out a unit price for something is very useful. For example, if you wanted to buy some Pepsi but didn't know if the 24-pack, 12-pack or 36-pack was a better deal, you can find out the unit price to see which is cheaper. For example, if the 24-pack of Pepsi cost $5, the unit price per can would be .21. A 12-pack at$ 2.75 would be .22 per can. A 36-pack at $6.50 is .18 per can. This tells you that you'd save more money per can if you bought the 36-pack of Pepsi.

Answers

The amount of interest Ryan would earn at the end of 30 years given the interest rate is $69,250.27.

What is the interest rate on the new account?

When an account earns an interest that is compounded bimonthly, it means that it earns an interest every 2 months.

The formula that can be used to determine the interest earned is:

Future value - amount deposited

FV = P (1 + r)^nm

FV = Future value P = Present value R = interest rate = 1.2/6m = number of compoundingN = number of years

FV = 160,000(1.002^180) = $229,250.27

What is a Linear Pair?

A linear pair is two angles whose sum equals 180°.

Given the image, where:

m∠5 = 47°

a. ∠5 and ∠7 are vertical angles. Since verticl angles are congurent, therefore:

m∠7 = m∠5 = 47°

m∠7 = 47°

b. m∠6 = (2x - 5)°

m∠6 + m∠5 = 180° (linear pair)

Substitute

2x - 5 + 47 = 180 (equation that can be used to solve x)

c. 2x - 5 + 47 = 180

2x + 42 = 180

2x = 180 - 42

2x = 138
