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)
16=28-12
16=16
check


the number is -4

Let n be old painters time. Then the new painters are 2n. So:
1/n+1/2n=1/6

n=9
The old painters take 9 hours; the new ones take 18

Which expressions are equivalent to -6n + (-12) + 4n ?
raketka [301]
The expression equivalent to the fort is a) 4(n-3) -6n, if you so the math for the first one do what is inside the parenthesis first. (think PEMDAS) Parenthesis, Exponents, Multiplication, Division, Addition, and Subtraction. So the first thing it gives you is -6n +(-12) Well, a negative + a negative = a negative! So, -6+-12= -18, then add your caroable. So, -18n. Now, you add -18n with what you have left so 4n -18+4 is -14n. So, if you do answer a) (n-3) = (1n-3)= (1-3) =-2. -2×4=-8n because a negative × a positive = a negative because they have different signs. From there you have -8n - (6) Instead of subtracting you just add a negative So, you would rewrite your problem as: -8n+(-6)= -14n the same thing you got as your orginal. Hope tj
his helped! Don't forget about adding you variables and PEMDAS!! Also d po not forget about your positive a negative rules!!!
