Two numbers that multiply to -2 could be
-1 and 2
Or
-2 and 1.
Since -1+2=1, -1 and 2 are the numbers you are looking for.
Hope this helps!
Multiply the number of attempts with the probability,
160 x 0.8 = 128 attempts made.
Hope this helps.
The answer is infinitely many solutions
If you divide the 2nd equation by 3, you get the first equation, meaning they are identical. That means that any value of x will be true, which means there are infinite solutions
1 litre of 10% solution contains 100mL of iodine
1 litre of 90% solution contains 900mL of iodine
Mixing them will produce 2 litres of solution containing 1000mL of iodine which is 50% iodine.
To produce 8 litres of 50% iodine they can mix 4 litres of 10% and 4 litres of 90%
x=3 1/4 is not a solution to the equation.
12 5/8=x+9 1/4 Subtract 9 1/4 from each side 3 3/8=x, but 3 1/4=3 2/8
