Answer:

x would equal -11 or 13

Step-by-step Explanation:

x(x - 2) - 143 = 0

x^2 - 2x - 143 = 0

-2x + x^2 = 143

-143 + (-2x) + x^2 = 0

(x - 13)(x + 11)

x - 13 = 0

Add 13 to both sides

x = 13

x + 11 = 0

Subtract 11 from both sides

x = -11

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation: Turn the mixed number into an improper fraction. -1 2/5 becomes -7/5.

You will get 105/70. Reduce by dividing both numerator and denomination by 35 Result will be 3/2.
