When 6 is subtracted from the square of a number, the result is 5 times the number, then the negative solution is -1

Given that when 6 is subtracted from the square of a number, the result is 5 times the number

To find: negative solution

Let "a" be the unknown number

Let us analyse the given sentence

square of a number =

6 is subtracted from the square of a number =

5 times the number =

So we can frame a equation as:

6 is subtracted from the square of a number = 5 times the number

Let us solve the above quadratic equation

For a quadratic equation where

Here in this problem,

Substituting the values in above quadratic formula, we get

We have two solutions for "a"

We have asked negative solution. So a = -1

Thus the negative solution is -1
