rearrange the equation to where you set it equal to 0 by moving the 25 over.
n2 - 8n -9 = 0
now factor
(n-9)(n+1)
so n1 = 9
n2 = -1
Answer:
A positive times a negative will always be a negative and when u divide a positive by a negative the same rules apply so it will be a negative
I think you want the least common multipule (exg LCM of 2,3,4 is 12)
so we find the factors and include all of them so like this
15=3 times 5
12=2 times 2 times 3
8=2 times 2 times 2
so to include all of them we include 3 2's, 1 3 and 1 5 or 2 times 2 times 2 times 3 times 5 or 8 times 15 or 4 times 30 or 120
the LCM is 120
so 4/15=32/120
1/12=10/120
3/8=45/120
add 32/120+10/120+45/120=(32+10+45)/120=87/120
