. If the difference between a number and its reciprocal is 24/5, find the number.

number is 5

Step-by-step explanation:

The reciprocal of a number n is , thus

n - =

Multiply through by 5n to clear the fractions

5n² - 5 = 24n ( subtract 24n from both sides )

5n² - 24n - 5 = 0 ← in standard form

(n - 5)(5n + 1) = 0 ← in factored form

Equate each factor to zero and solve for n

n - 5 = 0 ⇒ n = 5

5n + 1 = 0 ⇒ 5n = - 1 ⇒ n = -

However, n > 1 , thus n = 5

That is the number is 5

y=mx+b

step-by-step explanation:

m is slope, b is y-intercept

25 questions , because they start with 100.  

350-100=250 .  

. 250/10=25

step-by-step explanation:

first take off 100, then what x 10 = 250? that is your answer. (25)
