Answer:
-2
Step-by-step explanation:
Let's call the number x. The statement tells us that
x^2 - 10 = 3x, or
x^2-3x-10 = 0
Factoring:
(x-5)(x+2) = 0. Here, we see that there are two solutions: x = 5 and x = -2. So, the negative solution is x = -2.
Here's an example: If you have -9 and it asks for the absolute value of it, it means the opposite. The absolute value of -9 is positive 9.
There is 3/4 cup of whatever in one serving. If that serving amount changed to 2, then the 3/4 would be multiplied by 2. If there is half a serving, then it would be divided by 2. There is a constant change, and not one that is always changing.
