first number: x

second number: y

Sum: x + y = -9 ⇒ y = -x - 9

Product: xy = 20 ⇒ x(-x - 9) = 20

-x² - 9x = 20

0 = x² + 9x + 20

0 = (x + 4)(x + 5)

0 = x + 4 or 0 = x + 5

x = -4 or x = -5

y = -x - 9 ⇒ y = -(-4) - 9 = -5 or y = -(-5) - 9 = -4

Answer: -4, -5

AleksandrR [38]

Answer:

Below!

Step-by step explanation:

We know that:

400 + 850 + m = 1500

Solution of Question A:

Percent of children: Total children/Total attendance

=> 400/1500
=> 4/15
=> 0.27 (Rounded to nearest hundredth)
=> 0.27 x 100
=> 27%

Hence, the percent of children is about 27%.

Solution of Question B:

Percent of women: Total women/Total attendance

=> 850/1500
=> 85/150
=> 17/30
=> 17/30 x 100
=> 17/3 x 10
=> 170/3
=> 56.67%

Hence, the percent of women is 56.67%.

Solution of Question C:

400 + 850 + m = 1500
=> 1250 + m = 1500
=> m = 1500 - 1250
=> m = 250

Percent of men: Total men/Total attendance

=> 250/1500
=> 1/6
=> 0.17 (Rounded to nearest hundredth)
=> 0.17 x 100
=> 17%

Hence, the percent of men is about 17%

Hoped this helped.
