Hi!
When you add a negative number, you really just subtract it. So let's solve this.
Convert the mixed numbers into improper fractions.
Solve
434 - 351 = 83
The sign of this fraction is positive
Hope this helps! :)

Jalen inherited a collection of vintage comic books. An appraiser separated the comic
1 answer:
Jalen has total 63 comic books.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given,
Total value of comic books = $3135
Let,
Number of $45 comic books = x
Number of $65 comic books = y
According to given statement;
45x+65y=3135 Eqn 1
x=y+33 Eqn 2
Putting value of x from Eqn 2 in Eqn 1
Dividing both sides by 110
Putting y=15 in Eqn 2
Total comic books = x+y
Total comic books = 48+15 = 63
Jalen has total 63 comic books.

Equation
------------------------------------------------------------------
x² + 4x = 0
------------------------------------------------------------------
Add a constant
------------------------------------------------------------------
x² + 4x + (4/2)² - (4/2)² = 0 ← Add 2² to form perfect square
------------------------------------------------------------------
Evaluate bracket
------------------------------------------------------------------
x² + 4x + 2² - 2² = 0
------------------------------------------------------------------
Form the perfect square
------------------------------------------------------------------
(x + 2)² = 4
------------------------------------------------------------------
Square root both sides
------------------------------------------------------------------
(x+2) =
√4
------------------------------------------------------------------
Evaluate the square root
------------------------------------------------------------------
(x+2) = 2
------------------------------------------------------------------
Solve x
------------------------------------------------------------------
x = 2 - 2 or x = -2 - 2
x = 0 or -4
------------------------------------------------------------------
Answer: The constant to add is 4 and the value of x = 0 or -4
