Answer:

The two numbers are 4 and -4

Step-by-step explanation:

Turn the words into equations: let's assign one number to be x and the other to be y

x+8=y

x*y=-16

To solve, substitute the value of y in the first equation into y in the second equation.

This gives x*(x+8)=-16

Simplifying gives x^2+8x=-16

x^2+8x+16=0

(x+4)^2=0

x=-4

plug this value of x back into the first equation, -4+8=y, y is 4

Now to make sure the answer is correct: 4 is 8 more than -4, and 4*-4 does equal 16

What is the volume of this cylinder? <br><br> Use π ≈ 3.14.
densk [106]
The volume of a cylinder is pi(r^2)h where r is the radius, and h is the height. In this case, the radius and height are the same. Therefore the volume is 3.14 times 8^3. This equals 1607.68.

Help me pls and pls explain
Luda [366]

Answer:

5.1 mph

Step-by-step explanation:

she ran 3 2/5 miles in 2/3 hours.

that is the essential information to solve the problem. everything else is just there to give you "atmosphere" and Shao to confuse you.

the question is simply : what was her speed in mph ?

that means we need to bring the ratio of

3 2/5 miles / 2/3 hours

to 1 hour in the denominator (instead of 2/3 hours).

because we need that to express miles per (one) hour.

so, what do we need to multiply 2/3 with to get 1 (=3/3) ?

2/3 × x = 1

2x = 3

x = 3/2

so, to get 1 hour, we need to multiply the denominator by 3/2.

and to keep the original value of the ratio, we need to multiply also the numerator by the same 3/2.

speed = (3 2/5 miles × 3/2) / (2/3 hours × 3/2) =

= (17/5 miles × 3/2) / (1 hour) = 51/10 miles / 1 hour =

= 5.1 miles / 1 hour = 5.1 mph
