Tell your cousin good luck and that the answer is 5 :)
Answer: 24
Step-by-step explanation: The triangle is a 45-45-90. It’s an isosceles triangle
“Square five times a number” with “a number” being x is the same as saying:
5x²
“three more than the number” is the same as saying:
3 + x
Therefore the sentence “When you square five times a number, you get three more than the number.” is the same as:
5x² = 3 + x
Hope this helps, have a great day! :)
Let's consider that number to be 'x'..
So, twice the number (2x) is 12 greater than than the half of the number.
So the equation will be like,
2x=12+x/2
Solving this further,
2x=(24+x)/2
=> 4x=24+x
=>4x-x=24
=>3x=24
=>x=8..
So the number is "8".
