Could you give me the answer options so I could give you the correct answer?
5x-8< -18
+8 on both sides
5x< -10
X< -2
Number: n
square of number: n^2
sum of n and n^2 is n+n^2=20
Rewriting this equation, we get n^2+n-20=0 = (n+5)(n-4) = 0
Then n+5=0 and n-4=0, so n = -5 and n = 4.
You must check both results. It could happen that both are correct, or that only one is correct.
Step-by-step explanation:
convert to slope-intercept form
y = -2x + 4
