Answer:
13
Step-by-step explanation:
Given number = -48
Listing out the possible factors of -48 in pairs along with their difference:
Factors (
) Difference (
) Difference (
)
-26 26
26 -26
-19 19
19 -19
-16 16
16 -16
-14 14
14 -14
On listing out the factors we find out that two of the pairs have difference = 19
The pairs are 
and 
It is given that the factor with greater absolute value is positive. This means 16 would be positive while 3 would be negative.
So, our factors are
The sum of the factors is = 
(Answer)
Distribute 2 and remove parentheses :
1/2x+8=3x-6
Multiply both sides of equation by 2:
x+16=6x-12
Move terms:
x+16-6x=-12
x-6x=-12-16
Collect like terms:
-5x=-28
Divide both sides:
x=28/5
To find area we multiple length by width
20 times 45 is 900
then multiply that by 2 because there are two floors that are that size
900 times 2 is 1800
the total area for both floors is 1800 square feet
