Question

Write and evaluate the expression. Then, select the correct answer. a number squared decreased by six evaluate when c = 7

Answer 1

The answer should be 43

Explanation:

Let's assign the variable "x" to represent the number. The expression can be written as:

x^2 - 6

Since we don't have a specific value for x, we'll substitute it with c = 7:

7^2 - 6

Simplifying further:

49 - 6

Which equals:

43

Therefore, the value of the expression "a number squared decreased by six" when c = 7 is 43.

Answer 2

Answer is 43

A number squared would be c^2 since no number is given and we are looking for c, then decrease 6 would be -6. Should look like this:
c^2-6
Substitute c for 7:
7^2-6
Simplify:
49-6
Solve:
43
