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

 what would be the equation of a line that passes through (3,-4) with slope 2/3
Len [333]

Answer:

y = 2/3x - 6

Step-by-step explanation:

Use the slope intercept equation, y = mx + b

Plug in the slope and given point, then solve for b

y = mx + b

-4 = 2/3(3) + b

-4 = 2 + b

-6 = b

Plug in the slope and b into the equation

y = 2/3x - 6

So, the equation of the line is y = 2/3x - 6

aleksley [76]

Answer:

  1.5 mL

Step-by-step explanation:

The abbreviation mcg stands for "microgram," or 10^-6 grams. The abbreviation mg stands for "milligram," or 10^-3 grams. The relationship between these is ...

  1 mg = 1000 mcg

<h3>Dose</h3>

The order for 6000 mcg is an order for 6(1000 mcg) = 6(1 mg) = 6 mg. At 4 mg/mL, the quantity of dexamethasone required is ...

  (6 mg)/(4 mg/mL) = (6/4) mL = 1.5 mL

The nurse will give 1.5 milliliters of dexamethasone.
