Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

n represents the number

n = -12 + n2 reorder terms

n = n2 - 12 subtract n from both sides

0 = n2 - n - 12 FOIL

0 = (n - 4)(n + 3)

(-3,4)

So the only 2 numbers that could be 12 less than its square are -3 and 4, but I am pretty sure that they want positive numbers, so I would go with 4.

Is it 4? Because the square of it is 16 and 16-12 = 4

Answer:

The first one

Step-by-step explanation:

I believe it is the first option, as you can see that, on the right hand side, 4a was multiplied to the first term to make a common denominator. I'm sorry if it is wrong, and I hope this helped.
