Y - x = 154
let z = xy = x(154 + x) = x^2 + 154x
we need to find the minimum value of z
z' = 2x + 154 which = zero for minm or maxm value
x = -77 and y = 154 -77 = 77
so the 2 numbers are -77 and 77
So first you would divide the 9 on both sides then 6 divided by 9 would be .6 repeating so m=.6 repeating.
-20 because after the the thermometer hits zero the more negative the temperature gets the colder it is
The first step to solving this equation is to change the signs on both sides of the equation
y = -

x + 3
Since we don't know what x is but we do know why y is,, we will write our answer with the answer to y and x being left as undefined.
y = -

x + 3, x ∈ R
Let me know if you have any further questions

This answer seems really hard but just don't overthink it. You pretty much don't have to do any math. It took me forever to do this because I was thinking so hard but i re-read it and the answer was right infront of me.
