When 8 is subtracted from the square of a number, the result is 7times the number. Find the positive solution

x=8 , x=-1

Step-by-step explanation:

let the number is x

According to the condition

- "runner b is moving at a slower rate."

- "the graphs shown are graphs of distance(km) against time(min).

the slopes of this graphs are are given by:

slope = (change in y)/(change in x)

= (change in distance)/(change in time)

this is the formula for finding the speed. so, the slope of these graphs represent the speed of the runner.

taking each division in the graph to represent 1 on both axis:

runner a ⇒ speed = (2-0)/(1-0)

= 2/1

= 2 km/min

runner b ⇒ speed = (3-0)/(3-0)

= 3/3

= 1 km/min

this shows that   runner b is moving at a slower rate."

i'm a sophomore in connections, i'd recommend checking on jishka.com they have a large range of questions and answers from our school.
