<h3>Answer:  </h3><h3>speed of train A = 44 mph</h3>

=============================================

Work Shown:

x = speed of train A

y = speed of train B

"train A travels 4/5 the speed of train B" (I'm assuming "train one" is supposed to read "train B"). So this means x = (4/5)y

distance = rate*time

d = x*7

d = (4/5)y*7 = (28/5)y represents the distance train A travels

d = y*7 = 7y represents the distance train B travels

summing those distances will give us 693

(28/5)y + 7y = 693

5*(  (28/5)y + 7y ) = 5*693

28y + 35y = 3465

63y = 3465

y = 3465/63

y = 55

Train B's speed is 55 mph

4/5 of that is (4/5)y = (4/5)*55 = 4*11 = 44 mph

Train A's speed is 44 mph

Find two numbers that have a sum of -2 and a product of -48 (please show work if possible)​
andreev551 [17]

Answer: -8 and 6

Step-by-step explanation:

factors of 48: 1,2,4,6,8,12,24,48

1 x 48

2 x 24

4 x 12

6 x 8

for a negative product, one of the factors must be negative and the other positive.

for two number to have a sum of -2, the greater number must be the negative number, and both numbers should have be two values apart (ex. 6 and 8, 3 and 5, 12 and 14, etc.). In this case, 8 would have to be negative whereas 6 will be left positive.

and then we check:

-8 x 6 = 48

-8 + 6 = -2
