Answer:
(the relation you wrote is not correct, there may be something missing, so I will simplify the initial expression)
Here we have the equation:

We can rewrite this as:

Now we can add and subtract cos^2(x)*sin^2(x) to get:

We can complete squares to get:

and we know that:
cos^2(x) + sin^2(x) = 1
then:

This is the closest expression to what you wrote.
We also know that:
sin(x)*cos(x) = (1/2)*sin(2*x)
If we replace that, we get:

Then the simplification is:

0.08 divided by 1.44 is 0.055555556
Answer:
the "negative solution" is -3
Step-by-step explanation:
Represent the number by n.
Then n^2 - 24 = 5n
We rewrite this in standard quadratic form:
n^2 - 5n - 24 = 0
This factors as follows; (n + 3)(n - 8) = 0
The roots are n = -3 and n = 8. Thus, the "negative solution" is -3
