Answer:

x = -1 or x = -3

Step-by-step explanation:

x + 3/x = -4

x² + 3 = -4x

x² + 4x + 3 = 0

(x + 1) (x + 3) = 0

x = -1 or x = -3

check: (-1) + (3/-1) = -1 - 3 = -4

           (-3) + (3/(-3)) = -3 -1 = 14

What two numbers add up to 9 and multiply to -90?
Alik [6]
You solve the equation : t^2 - 9t - 90 = 0 ;
Δ = ( - 9 )^2 - 4 * 1 * ( - 90 ) = 81 + 360 = 441 ;
t1 = ( 9 + \sqrt{441}) / 2 = 30 / 2 = 15 ;
t2 = ( 9 - \sqrt{441}) / 2 = -12 / 2 = - 6 ;

The numbers are 15 and - 6 ;
