Let the two integers be x and y respectively

Hence;
x + y =  - 15 \\  \\ xy = 54
From the first equation ;
x =  - 15- y
Substitute into the third equation
( - 15 - y)y = 54
Open up the bracket
- 15y -  {y}^{2}  = 54
Take everything to the right hand side of the equation and you'll have a quadratic equation
0 = 54 + 15y +  {y}^{2}
Solve the quadratic equation and you'll have two roots
y=  - 6 \: or \: y= -9
Substitute for each value of y in the first equation
Therefore:
x  + ( - 6) =  - 15 \:  \\ or \\  \: x + ( - 9) =  - 15
x - 6 =  - 15 \\ or \\ x - 9 =  - 15
x =  - 15 + 6 \\ or \\ x =  - 15 + 9

x =  - 9 \: or \: x =  - 6
Therefore the answer is A

Artemon [7]

Answer:

22

Step-by-step explanation:

8-10(-2)+5(-2)+4

first you would multiply -10 by -2 and 5 by -2

8+20-10+4

then you would add 8 and 20

28-10+4

then subtract 28 by 10

18+4

then add 18 and 4 together to get

12 total roses.

Probability of selecting a pink rose would be 3/12 or 1/4.
p(pink)=3/12=1/4

The complement of that would be 1-1/4=3/4.

P(NOT pink)=1-1/4=3/4

So theres a 3/4 chance that she WON'T randomly select a pink rose.

Answer=3/4</span>
