Answer:

96lbs

Step-by-step explanation:

g + s = 128

g = 3s

3s + s = 4s = 128

s = 128/4 = 32

g = 3s = 96

$x=\pm2i\sqrt{5}$

General Formulas and Concepts:

<u>Pre-Algebra</u>

Order of Operations: BPEMDAS

Brackets
Parenthesis
Exponents
Multiplication
Division
Addition
Subtraction

Left to Right

<u>Algebra I</u>

Standard Form: ax² + bx + c = 0
Quadratic Formula: $x=\frac{-b\pm\sqrt{b^2-4ac} }{2a}$

<u>Algebra II</u>

Imaginary Numbers: √-1 = i

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Step 1: Define Equation</u>

x² + 20 = 0

<u>Step 2: Identify Variables</u>

a = 1

b = 0

c = 20

<u>Step 3: Find roots </u><em><u>x</u></em>

Substitute: $x=\frac{-0\pm\sqrt{0^2-4(1)(20)} }{2(1)}$
Exponents: $x=\frac{-0\pm\sqrt{0-4(1)(20)} }{2(1)}$
Multiply: $x=\frac{-0\pm\sqrt{0-80} }{2}$
Subtract: $x=\frac{\pm\sqrt{-80} }{2}$
Factor: $x=\frac{\pm\sqrt{-1} \sqrt{80} }{2}$
Simplify: $x=\frac{\pm4i\sqrt{5} }{2}$
Divide: $x=\pm2i\sqrt{5}$
