Answer: x = 7 or x = -8
x² + x - 56 = 0
⇔ x² + 8x - 7x - 56 = 0
⇔ x(x + 8) - 7(x + 8) = 0
⇔ (x - 7)(x + 8) = 0
⇔ x - 7 = 0
or x + 8 = 0
⇔ x = 7 or x = -8

One number is 4 times the other, so x and 4x.
The sum of two numbers is 4x+x=70.
Solve for x to get
x=70/5=14
the other number is 4x=4*14=56
 
        
                    
             
        
        
        
It opens upward and the vertex is (2,-6) here are some plotted points: (0,6),(1,-3),(2,-6),(3,-3),(4,6). Hope that helps. I hate graphing but if you do it enough times you'll get the hang of it!
