The answer is 25 1/4. to solve this you can do 4x25 plus 1 divided by 4. 4x25 is 100 plus 1 equals 101
.1 or 1/10

Since the first part says the value is five less then twice the square of a negative number we get the first equation as 2(-x)²-5. Then we have that -9x is equal to that previous equation. Therefore our new equation is 2(-x)²-5=-9x. We can move the nine over by adding it to both side to get 2(-x)²+9x-5=0. Then you can use any method of factoring (I prefer quadratic formula) to get your values for x. By doing so, you’ll get x=28 and x=-32.5. Since the problem said the number was negative in the first part, you know you can’t have the 28 as the answer so the right answer is -32.5.
No Problem!
5p-14=8p+4
I assume this is the whole problem set up properly, so now, lets subtract the left side by 5p, and then the right side.
-14=3p+4
As you can see, the 5p cancels out on the left side, and the p leftover is what 8p-5p equals.
Now, subtract both sides by 4.
-18=3p
Now, simply divide both sides by 3 to equal
p= -6
The reason we do the divide and multiplying last is because doing it first would only make it much harder.
This is the simplest way I know of to do it. If you don't understand, just ask me.
Hope it helped!
