Answer: So the positive solution is:
ANSWER: X = 5
(x = 5 ), (x = - 2 )
Explanation:
when 10 is subtracted from the square of a number the result is 3 times the number.
Find the positive solution.
Let: x = number
Let x^2 = square of a number.
x^2 - 10x = 3x transpose
x^2 - 3x - 10 = 0
Apply Factoring: Fractions of 10 are 5 and 2
( - 5)(2) = - 10
- 5 + 2 = - 3
( x - 5 )(x + 2) = 0
x - 5 = 0 x + 2 = 0
x = 5 x = - 2
So the positive solution is:
ANSWER: X = 5
