The square of a negative number is 35 more than 2 times the negative number.
\n" ); document.write( " Find the number.
\n" ); document.write( "let n = the number
\n" ); document.write( "n^2 = 2(n) + 35
\n" ); document.write( "n^2 = 2n + 35
\n" ); document.write( "arrange as a quadratic equation
\n" ); document.write( "n^2 - 2n - 35 = 0
\n" ); document.write( "Factors to
\n" ); document.write( "(n-7)(n+5) = 0
\n" ); document.write( "they want the negative solution
\n" ); document.write( "n = -5
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( ";
\n" ); document.write( "See if that works
\n" ); document.write( "(-5)^2 = 2(-5) + 35
\n" ); document.write( "25 = -10 + 35
\n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
