The number that should go in the box is 6.
3.60
- 0.65
---------------
2. 9 5
First, simplify out the brackets:
-20 - 4n = -12
Then, combine like terms by moving the -20 to the other side
-4n = -12 + 20
-4n = 8
Divide by -4 on both sides to isolate the n
n = 8/-4
n = -2
Answer:
<h2><u><em>
x=3 or x=−4</em></u></h2>
Step-by-step explanation:
when a number x is added to it's square, the total is 12. find two possible values of x
x+x^2=12
x^2+x=12
x^2+x−12=12−12
x^2+x−12=0
(x−3)(x+4)=0
x−3=0 or x+4=0
x=3 or x=−4
x=3 or x=−4
4/5 is the quotient or the answer
