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

Lisa is checking out at the bookstore. Each book (b) costs $1.50 and she has a $5 off coupon she can use. She wants to spend $25 or less in the bookstore. How many books can Lisa buy?

Answers

Answer:

20

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Lisa is checking out at the bookstore.

Each book (b) costs $1.50 and she has a $5 off coupon she can use.

She wants to spend $25 or less in the bookstore.

Solve:

Since there is a $5 off coupon..

$1.5b - $5.00<=$25.00

$1.5b<= $30.00

$1.5b/1.5 = $30.00/1.5

b=20

Lisa can buy 20 book.

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

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.

[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...
