Answer:

The negative solution is -2

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number be x

From the question we can deduce the equation below;

x^{2}- 16 = 6x

Solving the quadratic equation by factorization;

x^{2}- 16 - 6x = 0

x^{2} - 6x - 16 = 0

the factors of the quadratic equation are -8 and 2

x^{2} - 8x + 2x - 16 = 0

x(x-8)+2(x-8)=0

(x+2)(x-8)=0

Therefore, x = -2 or 8

The negative solution is -2.

PROOF;

x^{2}- 16 = 6x

[-2]^2 - 16 = 6(-2)

4 - 16 = -12

-12 = -12

Stells [14]

Answer:

They use 741 dollars

Step-by-step explanation:

Write 65% as

65/100

Since, finding the fraction of a number is same as multiplying the fraction with the number, we have

65/100 of 1140 = 65/100× 1140

Therefore, the answer is 741

If you are using a calculator, simply enter 65÷100×1140 which will give you 741 as the answer.
