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

If I am adding one positive number and one negative number, will the answer be positive or negative? What does it depend on?
maxonik [38]

It depends on which number has the greatest absolute value.

Think about it as money

If you owe me $10, this is shown as -10

Now  if I give you back 2 dollars  (+2), How much money do I still owe you.

The equation is -10+2

I still owe you 8 dollars which is portrayed as -8

Hope this helps :)

Answer:

68

Step-by-step explanation:

Find the vanilla first by dividing 420 by 7 and multiplying the quotient by 2 to get 120.

Then find the banana using the equation 35/100 = x/420, cross multiply to get 147.

Add 120 and 147 to get 267.

Subtract 267 from 420 to get 153.

Divide 153 by 9 to get 17.
