Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
P = x^2 + 6

Solving for 4x^2:
P = x^2 +6
P - 6 = x^2
4(P - 6) = 4x^2
Substitution:

If you are solving for x than the answer would be x=4.
One way to do this is to notice

Then

We have

and since
has a period of
,

and so

Using a calculator, you should find that
-2 & 4/5 = -(2 + 4/5) = -(2+0.8) = -2.8
-31/5 = -6.2
So the unknown number is between -6.2 and -2.8
<h3>Possible whole number answers could be: -6, -5, -4, -3, or -2</h3>
If your teacher allows decimal answers, then there are infinitely many possible ways to answer.
