Answer:
Numbers =(6,-2 )
Step-by step explanation:
Given
the sum of two numbers is four and the sum of their squares minus three times their product is 76,
Let the first term =X
Second term will be=4-x
So
X^2+(4-x)^2-3x(4-x)=76
x^2+16+x^2-8x-12x+3x^2=76
5x^2-20x+16=76
5x^2-20x-60=0
5(x^2-4x-12)=0
So x^2-4x-12=0
x^2-(6-2)x-12=0
x^2-6x+2x-12=0
X(x-6)+2(x-6)=0
(X-6)(X+2)=0
X=6,-2
Let X=6 and -2 then numbers will be 6 and (4-6)=-2
Answer=7:13
Kenny's Weight*6/7=Melvin's Weight
So, for example, if Melvin's weigh was 7...
Kenny's Weight*6/7=7
divide both sides by 6/7
Kenny Weight=6
So we can say that Melvin's weight to Kenny's weight is 7:6
The boys total weights would be...
7+6=13
So Melvin's weight over the total weight of the two boys is:
7:13
