The number is x
it is negative
the square is 28 more than 3 times itself
x²=28+3x
minus (28+3x)
x²-3x-28=0
factor
(x-7)(x+4)=0
set to zero
x-7=0
x=7
this is not the answer because we were told the number was negative
x+4=0
x=-4
correct
the number is -4
test
(-4)²=28+3(-4)
16=28-12
16=16
check
the number is -4
Answer:
Step 1. Should be 3(x +2x) -2(x +1) +5 . . .
or . . . 3x(1 +2) -2(x +1) +5 . . .
or . . . 9x -2(x+1) +5
Step-by-step explanation:
Lisa apparently failed to realize that both terms inside the first set of parentheses have 3x as a factor. They are like terms, so could be combined directly. If Lisa really wants to factor out 3 or 3x, she could do so and then combine the remaining factors at another step.
6000 - 1800 = 4200
4200/4 = 1050
so she donated 25% to charity
