1010 + 2727x = y
x*y = 1211712117
x*(1010 + 2727x) = 1211712117
2727x^2 + 1010x - 1211712117 = 0
Here's the nasty part.
In order for this to work, the square root of the quadratic formula must come back with an integer. In fact sqrt (b^2 - 4ac) comes back with
3635568.29 something. which is not a whole number. Either there is an error in the givens or something, but this question is never going to do what you think it will do.
Jessica solved for the correct value of a, but Sally's review was incorrect.
Well you will need two number that are divisible by 30 and add up to -7 so they will have to be a negative.
I would try -2 and -5 which are both divisible by 30 and ad up to -7 so...
-2/30 + -5/30 = -7/30
She 56/92 6-5=1 and 567-1=566
