$ per min is a rate. you multiple by minutes to get dollars.

A = 10x
B = 5x + 20

set them equal to find minutes, x.

10x = 5x + 20
10x - 5x = 20
5x = 20

x = 4

What two numbers multiply to 10 and add to -29 ?

Degger [83]

Xy=10
x+y=29

subtract x from both sides for second equation

y=-x-29
subsitute in second equaiton
x(-x-29)=10
-x^2-29x=10
add x^2+29x to both sides
x^2+29x+10=0
quadratic formula
if you have
ax^2+bx+c=0,
x= $\frac{-b+/- \sqrt{b^{2}-4ac} }{2a}$

so
x^2+29x+10=0
a=1
b=29
c=10
x= $\frac{-29+/- \sqrt{(-29)^{2}-4(1)(10)} }{2(1)}$
x= $\frac{-29+/- \sqrt{841-40} }{2}$
x= $\frac{-29+/- \sqrt{801} }{2}$
x= $\frac{-29+/- 3\sqrt{89} }{2}$

x= $\frac{-29- 3\sqrt{89} }{2}$ or $\frac{-29+ 3\sqrt{89} }{2}$
those are the 2 numbers
aprox=-28.65 and -0.349
