The answer is -4.5
To solve these types of problems it's best to work backwards.
-2 - 16 = -18
4 x (n) = -18
n = -18/4
n = -4.5
I too also need this answer.
A = 10 or a = -10
When you square a number, you're essentially multiplying it by itself.
Recall that multiplying two negative numbers will result in a positive numbers. Knowing this, we know that -10 times -10 equals 100.
Distribute each term in one parenthesis to the other terms in the other parenthesis.
(x - 2) (2x + 3)
First, distribute x. When distributing, multiply
x(2x) = 2x²
x(3) = 3x
Next, distribute the other term, -2. Remember to change the signs.
-2(2x) = -4x
-2(3) = -6
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
2x² + 3x - 4x - 6
Combine like terms
3x - 4x = -x
2x² - x - 6
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
2x² - x - 6 is your answer
