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

X+5 < 6
Pls help

Answers

Answer:

x<1

Step-by-step explanation:

You would just subtract 5 from both sides of the equation. The sign does not flip because you are not multiplying or dividing any negative number across the sign.  So simply x+5 (-5) < 6 (-5). On the left side the 5 would cancel out.  on the other side 6-5 is equal to 1.

Answer:  x<1

Answer: x < 1

Step-by-step explanation: x + 5 < 6

Subtract 5 from both sides,

x < 1

[tex]884^{-7}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Start by simplifying the denominator of the fraction. When multiplying exponents of the same base, you can add the exponents. This is also known as the product rule.

[tex]a^x\cdot a^y=a^{x+y}[/tex]

["a" is the base, and "x" and "y" are the exponents]

Using this we find...

[tex]884^{58}\cdot884^{46}=884^{58+46}=884^{104}[/tex]

When dividing exponents of the same base, you can subtract the exponents. This is also knows as the quotient rule.

[tex]a^x\div a^y=a^{x-y}[/tex]

Using this we find...

[tex]\frac{884^{97}}{884^{104}}=884^{97-104}=884^{-7}[/tex]

Each side of the regular hexagon below has the same measure. A hexagon with side lengths of 2. 5 feet. If a model of the hexagon is made by using a scale factor of 6, which applies to the model? Select two options. The model represents a reduction. Each side of the model is 15 feet long. The model is proportional to the original hexagon. One side of the model can be 8. 5 feet. The scale factor is divided by 2. 5 to get the dimensions of the model.

Answers

The correct option for a regular hexagon is b) Each side of the model is

15 feet long. and c) The model is proportional to the original hexagon.

What is a regular hexagon?

A regular hexagon is defined as a closed shape consisting of six equal

sides and six equal angles. The sum of the measure of angles of a

regular hexagon is 120 degrees.

It is given that a hexagon with side lengths of 2. 5 feet.

The scale factor is 6.

Since scale factor = new length/original length,

new length = scale factor × original length

                   = 6 × 2.5 feet

                   = 15 feet.

Also, each side of the hexagon increases by a constant factor of 6, the model is proportional to the original hexagon.

If there were 36 pieces of green candy in the bag, how many pieces of candy in the bag were red?

Answers

27

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that 4 multiplied with something is 36

so we have to multiply 3 with 9

=>     3*9 = 27
