Question

someone HELP PLEASE!!! The product of a number and the number increased by 9 is 15. What is the larger of the 2 solutions?

Answer 1

Why did you post this again?

Answer 2

because, I can and you didn't help me I got it wrong.

Answer 3

I did help you and the answer was correct. You didn't enter it correctly.

Answer 4

how did i not enter it correctly ? how are you supposed to enter it

Answer 5

Your directions will tell you. Post them.

Answer 6

Don't include spaces. Such as x + 3 may be marked wrong but x+3 is correct.
Don't include symbols. Such as $25 is wrong but 25 is correct.
2x is correct but 2*x or 2(x) are marked wrong.
If the question asks for an expression, then = is never used.
If the question asks for an equation, then = must be used.
Don't round unless stated to do so in the problem.
If the answer is a fraction, write the fraction instead of decimal unless the problem states otherwise.
Always write in descending order, unless the problem specifies otherwise.

Answer 7

Don't round unless stated to do so in the problem.

Answer 8

You rounded.

Answer 9

I didn't round!!!

Answer 10

I put this answer 1.4372 exactly how i got it

Answer 11

Put the answer in like this:
\[-\frac{9}{2}+\frac{\sqrt{141}}{2}\]

Answer 12

When you give the decimal form of an irrational number you have to round it no matter how many decimal places you report because irrational numbers do not repeat of terminate and cannot be expressed exactly as a decimal.

Answer 13

And you did round. I got 1.437171044 because my calculator displays 10 digits.

Answer 14

even if i put that in its going to count it wrong because, its to long.

Answer 15

I know. That's why I told you to enter the EXACT form

Answer 16

so you want me to enter the fraction

Answer 17

This is what I want you to enter:

Answer 18

\[-\frac{9}{2}+\frac{\sqrt{141}}{2}\]

Answer 19

I should have mentioned that before.

Answer 20

uhm I can't enter that because of the sign my keyboard doesn't have it

Answer 21

Typically those quizzes will have a way to enter a square root.

Answer 22

Maybe the original problem is posted incorrectly. Go over it very carefully and make sure you haven't missed a sign or something.

Answer 23

oh well I keep getting it wrong. and its right

Answer 24

Can you copy and paste the original problem?

Answer 25

The product of a number and the number increased by 9 is 15. What is the larger of the 2 solutions?

Answer 26

it also says this when you get it wrong Translate to an equation. Get the equation equal to 0 before solving.

Answer 27

Yes. It is giving you two hints to help you with the solution. But the question the problem asks is for the larger answer.

Answer 28

Somewhere it shows you how to enter square roots.

Answer 29

it doesnt show you anywhere!! I usually dont ever enter sqrts i enter decimals

Answer 30

Did you try entering the answer to the nearest tenth?

Answer 31

Answer 32
