Answer:
"The quotient of the opposite of a number squared and 3"
Take "the opposite of a number squared" and call it y.
So you get "The quotient of y and 3"
This is y/3.
Now what is y? "The opposite of a number squared"
Take "The opposite of a number" and call it z.
So y is "z squared"
Replacing y, we get z^2 / 3
But what is z? "The opposite of a number"
Call "a number" x.
The opposite of x is -x.
So z is "-x"
Replacing z, we get (-x)^2 / 3
7.
15/2= 7.5
you cant get 7 and a half action figures so round down to 7
y = -13, 13
There are two answers because you are taking the square root of a number. If we go the other way, to check our work, (-13)^2 = 169 and (13)^2 = 169.
Hope this helps! :)
