Answer:
-4 and -2
Step-by-step explanation:
First find all the factors of 8, that would be 1 and 8, -1 and -8, 2 and 4, and -2 and -4.
Then, adding the groups of numbers you have should show you what would equal -6. So 1 + 8 = 9, -1 + (-8) = -9, same vice versa, 2 + 4 = 6, -2 + (-4) = -6. So -2 and -4 would be your two numbers.
The answer is 5.
you can turn it into a fraction ratio (6 over 15 is equal to 2 over c) and then cross multiply

Answer:
solve for x
x=2
Step-by-step explanation:
x2-20x-17=-53
reorder like terms x2= 2x 2x=20x-17=-53
collect like terms 2x-20x=-18x -18x-17=-53
move constant to the right hand side and change its sign -18x=-53+17
calculate the sum -53+17= -36 -18x=-36
divide both sides by -18 -18x÷-18= x -36÷-18=2
x=2
