The numbers are (-8, 3) or (3, -8).
Step-by-step explanation:
- Step 1: Given the product of the numbers are -24 and their sum are -5. Let the numbers be a and b. Form equations out of these details.
⇒ a + b = -5 ⇒ b = -5 - a
⇒ a × b = -24 -------- (1)
- Step 2: Substitute the value of b in eq(1)
⇒ a × (-5 - a) = - 24
⇒ -5a - a² = -24
⇒ a² + 5a - 24 = 0
- Step 3: Solve the quadratic equation for a.
a = (-5 ± √25 - 4 × 1 × -24)/2
= (-5 ± √121)/2
= - 16/2, 6/2 = -8 or 3
- Step 4: For each value of a, find b.
When a = -8, b = -5 +8 = 3
When a = 3, b = -5 - 3 = -8.
We can set up a proportion, and let x be the amount 16kg would cost: 14/154=16/x. We simplify 14/154 = 1/11. Next, we cross-multiply to get (1)(x)=(16)(11), so x=176. Therefore, 16kg of apples cost $176.

Leg <em>a</em> = <em>x</em>
Leg <em>b</em> = 5
Hypotenuse <em>c</em> = 8
<u>Step 2: Solve for </u><em><u>x</u></em>
- Substitute [PT]: x² + 5² = 8²
- Isolate <em>x</em> term: x² = 8² - 5²
- Exponents: x² = 64 - 25
- Subtract: x² = 39
- Isolate <em>x</em>: x = √39
I don’t think you can take down a question on Brainily but thanks for the 5 points
have a wonderful day!!!!!
Fresh Foods
Range: 2-4
Mode: 2
Median: 3
Mean: 3
Best Groceries
Range: 1-7
Mode: 1 and 5
Median: 3.5
Mean: 3.5
Range is the lowest and highest number. Mode is the number that repeats the most. Median is the number in the middle. Mean is adding all the numbers together and dividing it by the number of numbers.
