Answer:
-x - 3y + z
Step-by-step explanation:
Think of a imaginary 1(-1 because of the sign) in front of the parenthesis and distribute it to the other number and so x will become -x, 3y will become -3y and -z will become z because two negatives make a positive.
If the smallest number is 'x', then the other number = x +1
x*(x+1)= 420
Use distributive property
x*x + x*1 = 420
x² + x - 420 =0 ------> this is the required quadratic equation.
