Answer:
-2
Step-by-step explanation:
Let's call the number x. The statement tells us that
x^2 - 10 = 3x, or
x^2-3x-10 = 0
Factoring:
(x-5)(x+2) = 0. Here, we see that there are two solutions: x = 5 and x = -2. So, the negative solution is x = -2.
Answer:
x=19.5cm
Step-by-step explanation:
15÷10= 1.5
13x1.5
=19.5cm
Answer:
5-7 x = 2
Step-by-step explanation:
a number times negative seven added to five equals two
We can set up an equation to solve this problem. I am setting the number of marbles in a red jar to R.
R + R + R - 16 = 41
We solve this by adding 16 to both sides and combining all of the R terms.. This gives us:
3R = 57
We can finish this problem by dividing both sides by 3.
R = 19. So, there are 19 marbles in a red jar.
We can easily figure out how many marbles are in a blue jar by subtracting the total amount of marbles in 2 red jars from the total amount of marbles. I am setting the amount of marbles in a blue jar to B.
41 - 19*2 = B
B = 3
So, there are 3 marbles in a blue jar and 19 marbles in a red jar.
