The square of a number and 7 times a number are -10

Write the equation and the answer

The answer is x² + 7x + 10 = 0.

Step-by-step explanation:

First, you have to make an expression. By reading the question, we can make it :

Let number = x,

Square of a no,

x²

7 times a no,

7 × x

= 7x

And means ADD equals to -10,

x² + 7x = -10

x² + 7x + 10 = 0

(By forming an equation, you have to let expressions equals to 0, so I add 10 to both sides in order to get rid of -10)

b. 1.25 hr

step-by-step explanation:

if you have a constant speed of 60 mph, then you have a ratio between 60 mi. to 1 hr. dividing both sides by 60 we get the ratio

1 mi. to

then mult. both sides by 75 we get the ratio

75 mi. to

simplifying we get

75 mi. to

or 1.25 hr.

let y equal to

the total fare and x is the mile of taxi ride. so the equation is

y = 0.55x + 1.75

since susie has

$10 to spend for a taxi cab, so he can have

10 = 0.55x +

1.75

x = 15 miles of

taxi ride

so the system of

inequality is

10 < 0.55x +

1.75

x > 2
