The larger the negative number, the least it is
Note, however, that two negatives = one positive
-65, -47, 28, -(-73) (or 73), 95 is your answer
hope this helps
Answer:
5 + sqrt(65), 5 - sqrt(65)
Step-by-step explanation:
x + y = 10
x×y = -40
so, two equations with 2 variables. using one equation to express one variable by the second. and then using the second equation to solve and calculate the second variable. and then by knowing the second variable we calculate the first.
=> x = 10 - y
=> (10-y)×y = -40
=> -1×(10-y)×y = 40
=> (y-10)×y = 40
=> y^2 - 10×y - 40 = 0
remember the solution for a quadratic equation
a×x^2 + b×x + c
is
x = (-b ± sqrt(b^2 - 4×a×c)/(2×a)
in our case
a = 1
b = -10
c = -40
and we used "y".
so,
y = (--10 ± sqrt((-10)^2 - 4×1×(-40))/(2×1) =
= (10 ± sqrt(100 + 160))/2 = (10 ± sqrt(260))/2 =
= (10 ± sqrt (4×65))/2 = 10/2 ± 2×sqrt(65)/2 =
= 5 ± sqrt(65)
=>
for y = 5 + sqrt(65), x = 10 - 5 - sqrt(65) = 5 - sqrt(65)
for y = 5 - sqrt(65), x = 10 - 5 + sqrt(65) = 5 + sqrt(65)

Kindly check explanation
Step-by-step explanation:
3 boxes or less = Cost of tiles = $48
4 - 8 boxes ; cost = $45
9 - 19 boxes ; cost = $42
> 19 boxes ; cost = $38
Cost of purchasing 5 boxes of tiles :
$45 * 5 = $225
Cost of purchasing 19 boxes :
$42 * 19 = $798
