The square of a number is 12 less than 7 times the number. what is the number?

The number is either 3 or 4

Explanation:

Assume that the number we are looking for is x

The square of the number would be x²

7 times the number would be 7x

We are given that:

square of the number (x²) is 12 less than 7 times the number (7x)

Translating this into an equation, we would have:

x² = 7x - 12

Rearranging the quadratic equation:

x² - 7x + 12 = 0

Now, we factor the equation:

(x-4)(x-3) = 0

This means that:

either x-4 = 0 > x = 4

or x-3 = 0 > x = 3

Let's check if any of the solutions is an extrovert:

For x = 3 > (3)² = 7(3) - 12 > 9 = 21 - 12 > 9 = 9 > not extrovert

For x = 4 > (4)² = 7(4) - 12 > 16 = 28 - 12 > 16 = 16 > not extrovert

Since we have no restrictions on the number, therefore, both solutions would be accepted

Hope this helps :)

10/60

step-by-step explanation:

if you divide 10 by 60 the answer is 0.166666 while if you divide or solve the other problems it equals 0.6

y= -2x+4, have a great day
