Answer:
The negative solution is -2
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the number be x
From the question we can deduce the equation below;

Solving the quadratic equation by factorization;


the factors of the quadratic equation are -8 and 2

x(x-8)+2(x-8)=0
(x+2)(x-8)=0
Therefore, x = -2 or 8
The negative solution is -2.
PROOF;

[-2]^2 - 16 = 6(-2)
4 - 16 = -12
-12 = -12
302,143/2,968.7 = 101.776198336 ≈ 102 people/Sq. Mile
1. Divide the number of people by the area
2. Round to the the nearest person per Sq mile (if the number behind the number you want to round to is bigger or equal than 5 you increase the number you want to round to i. e. 2.5 ≈ 3, 2.3 ≈ 2, 1,23456 ≈ 1,235 if rounding to the third decimal point)
