Squaring" means to multiply a number by itself. Squaring a positive number gets a positive result: (+5) × (+5) = +25. Squaring a negative number also gets a positive result: (−5) × (−5) = +25.

Answer:

This is because to square a number just means to multiply it by itself. For example, (-2) squared is (-2)(-2) = 4. Note that this is positive because when you multiply two negative numbers you get a positive result.

If 15% of 4x is 20 less than x, what is the value of x?
Bess [88]

The sentence "15% of 4x is 20 less than x"

translates to    0.15 • (4x)  = x – 20

Solving that…

    0.15(4x) = x - 20           multiplipy 0.15•4

          0.6x = x - 20           subtract x from both sides

         -0.4x = - 20              divide both sides by -0.4

                x = 50
