The number is x

it is negative
the square is 28 more than 3 times itself
x²=28+3x
minus (28+3x)
x²-3x-28=0
factor
(x-7)(x+4)=0
set to zero

x-7=0
x=7
this is not the answer because we were told the number was negative


x+4=0
x=-4
correct

the number is -4
test
(-4)²=28+3(-4)

Peter Schmidt ordered sandwiches and salads for a luncheon meeting. The sandwiches cost three times as much as a salads. The tot
evablogger [386]

EXPLANATION

Let's see the facts:

$Sandwiches= 3*$Salads

Bill = $24.92

We can represent this in an equation:

Total Bill = Sandwiches + Salads

Let's call to Sandwiches "x" to Salads "y" and to Bill "B"

Then, the equation will be:

B = x+y = (3*y) + y

Applying distributive property:

24.92 = 3y + y

Adding similar terms:

24.92 = 4y

Dividing both sides by 4:

6.23 = y

Switching:

y=6.23

As we know, y variable represent the salads cost, so:

Answer is $6.23.
