The number is x
it is negative
the square is 28 more than 3 times itself
x²=28+3x
minus (28+3x)
x²-3x-28=0
factor
(x-7)(x+4)=0
set to zero
x-7=0
x=7
this is not the answer because we were told the number was negative
x+4=0
x=-4
correct
the number is -4
test
(-4)²=28+3(-4)
16=28-12
16=16
check
the number is -4
Wouldnt it be 10 since its similar to def?
Answer:
JK and LM are equal because it tells us they are equal.

Answer:
1) E
2) D
3) G
4) I
Step-by-step explanation:
1)
P = 2(l + w)
P = 2(3a + 3 + 8a - 12)
P = 2(11a - 9)
P = 22a - 18
2)
P = 22a - 18
P = 22(3) - 18
P = 66 - 18
P = 48
3)
P = a + b + c
P = 3b + 7 + 7b - 2 + 7b - 2
P = 17b + 3
4)
P = 17b + 3
P = 17(6) + 3
P = 102 + 3
P = 105
