Let x = your number.
5x = x^2 - 14. To figure out the number, we have to first subtract 5x from each side.
0 = x^2 - 5x - 14. Factor.
0 = (x - 7) (x + 2). Set both terms to 0.
(x - 7) = 0. Add 7 to each side.
x = 7. You're looking for the negative value so this isnt the right one.
Set the other term (x + 2) equal to 0
(x + 2) = 0. Subtract 2 from each side.
x = -2
The negative solution for your number is -2
G(f(x)) = g(2x +7) = -3(2x +7) +9 = -6x -21 +9
g(f(x)) = -6x -12

Answer:</h2>
The height of the box is:
4 ft.
<h2>
Step-by-step explanation:</h2>
Let "h" denotes the height of the box.
Length of box is denoted by "l"
and breadth or width of box is denoted by "b"
We are given l=18 ft
b=8 ft.
Also we are given surface area of rectangular box= 496 ft²
As we know that the surface area of box is given by:

i.e.

Divide both side by 2.

on dividing both side by 26 we get:

Hence, the height of the box is:
4 ft.
Answer: 0.56
Step-by-step explanation:
1.12 / 0.56
Half of 1 is .50 and half of .12 is .06
.50 + .06 = .56
