The number is negative so it will get smaller. I'm not sure if you are going by 3rd's or whole numbers but the answer may be -1 1/3 or-2/3
look at the screenshot :)
A = s^2
A = 40
40 = s^2...by taking the square root of both sides, u eliminate the ^2
sqrt 40 = s
6.32 = s <===
4x-6
A product means you have to multiply so the product of four and a number is 4 times x so 4x
A difference means you have to substraction a number from another number. So -6
