Algebra.Com's Answer #656673 by ankor@dixie-net.com(22740) You can put this solution on YOUR website! The product of a positive number and 16 more than seven times the number is 105. \n" ); document.write( "let n = \"a number\" \n" ); document.write( "write an equation for exactly what it says \n" ); document.write( "n * (7n+16) = 105 \n" ); document.write( "7n^2 + 16n = 105 \n" ); document.write( "A quadratic equation \n" ); document.write( "7n^2 + 16n - 105 = 0 \n" ); document.write( "using the quadratic formula a=7; b=16; c=-105 \n" ); document.write( "I got a positive decimal solution \n" ); document.write( "n = 2.89522686 \n" ); document.write( ": \n" ); document.write( "; \n" ); document.write( "lets see if that disgusting number works in the original \n" ); document.write( "2.895(7(2.895 + 16) = \n" ); document.write( "2.895(36.2665) = 104.99 ~ 105 \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " |
