Regardless of the sign of

, we have

(never negative). But multiplying by -1 makes it negative.
On the other hand,

which can never be negative for real

.
Answer:
s = - 1 ± 
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
s² + 2s - 6 = 0 ( add 6 to both sides )
s² + 2s = 6
To complete the square
add ( half the coefficient of the s- term )² to both sides
s² + 2(1)s + 1 = 6 + 1
(s + 1)² = 7 ( take the square root of both sides )
s + 1 = ±
( subtract 1 from both sides )
s = - 1 ± 
Thus
s = - 1 -
, s = - 1 + 
10% of all the cars is 20 limos.
20 * 10 = 200 cars total.
limos + vans + sedans = total cars
200 cars total - 20 limos - 60 vans = x sedans
x = 120 sedans
