Answer:

<u>The negative solution is -4</u>

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Let's review the information given to us to answer the question correctly:

x = a number

4x = x² - 32 (4 times a number is 32 less than the square of that number)

2. Let's solve for x and find the negative solution:

4x = x² - 32

-x² + 4x + 32 = 0

x² - 4x - 32 = 0 (Multiplying by - 1)

(x - 8) (x + 4) = 0

(x₁  - 8) = 0

(x₂ + 4) = 0

x₁ = 8

<u>x₂ = -4</u>

<u>The negative solution is -4</u>

No, the result from part (a) could not be the actual number of adults who said that rising gas prices are "quite annoying" because a count of people must result in a whole.

c) from a above a, we got a value of 376.66.

Now the actual number would be preferably an integer. Thus, actual number is approximately 377.
