Given

F = 20cm, u = -28cm

using the lens formula

\begin{aligned} &\frac{1}{v}-\frac{1}{u}=\frac{1}{f}\\ &\begin{array}{l} \frac{1}{v}=\frac{1}{u}+\frac{1}{f}=\frac{1}{-28}+\frac{1}{20} \\ \frac{1}{v}=\frac{-5+7}{140}=\frac{2}{140} \\ v=\frac{140}{2}=70 \mathrm{cm} \\ m=\frac{v}{u}=\frac{70}{-28}=-2.5 \end{array} \end{aligned}

The image is formed at 70cm to the right side of the lens.

and   It is real, inverted, and magnified.
