Answer:

-1

Step-by-step explanation:

You can write it as...

x^{2} -5=4x

Carry the 4x

x^{2} -4x-5=0

Then use the quadratic formula to solve, since you want to find the negative solution, you don't need to find the positive solution, so we will have

(4-\sqrt{16+20}) /2=\frac{4-6}{2}=\frac{-2}{2} =-1

Therefore our answer is -1

Is the number a rational number? Help me out please!
krek1111 [17]

Answer:

first answer

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi, this is correct because repeating decimals are rational numbers.
