Answer:

The negative solution is -2

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number be x

x² - 16 = 6x

Equate the equation to zero (0)

x² - 6x -16 = 0

Factorize

x² + 2x -8x - 16 = 0

x(x + 2) -8(x + 2) = 0

Therefore,

(x-8) (x +2) = 0

x -8 = 0         or           x +2 = 0

x = 8             or            x = -2

The negative solution is -2

Simplify h= 105sin (0.0698(90+1)) + 105
IrinaK [193]

Answer:

h= 116.616

Step-by-step explanation:

we have

h= 105sin (0.0698(90+1)) + 105

step 1

Solve (90+1)

h= 105sin (0.0698(91)) + 105

step 2

Solve 0.0698(91)

h= 105sin (6.3518) + 105

step 3

Solve sin (6.3518)

h= 105(0.11063) + 105

step 4

Solve 105(0.11063)

h= 11.616 + 105

step 5

Solve 11.616 + 105

h= 116.616
