Let the numbers be x and y. Then xy = -30 and x+y = -3.
Solve xy = -30 for y: y = -30/x
subst. -30/x for y in x+y= -3: x - 30/x = -3
Multiply all 3 terms by x: x^2 - 30 = -3x, so x^2 + 3x - 10 = 0
Solve this quadratic equation for x. x: {-5, 2}
If x = -5, then x+y = -3 becomes -5 + y = -3, and y = 2.
You should check to determine whether x=2 is also correct. If it is, what is the corresponding y value?

Answer:
(16x + 21) and (16x - 6)
Step-by-step explanation:
f(g(x)) = f(6 + 4x)
Applying the f(x) function on (6 + 4x) gives
4(6 + 4x) - 3
Which equals 16x + 24 - 3
= 16x + 21
g(f(x)) = g(4x - 3)
Applying the g(x) function on (4x - 3) gives
6 + 4(4x - 3)
Which equals 6 + 16x - 12
= 16x - 6
