Answer:

Therefore the two negative integers are - 22, - 14.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that, two negative number are are 8 units apart.

Let x be a negative integer one of them.

Then the another integer be (x+8)

Given that the product of them is 308.

According to the problem,

x(x+8)=308

\Rightarrow x^2+8x=308

\Rightarrow x^2+22x-14x-308=0

\Rightarrow x(x+22)-14(x+22)=0

\Rightarrow (x+22)(x-14)=0

\Rightarrow x=-22,14

Since x is a negative integer.

∴x = - 22.

Then another integer is =( - 22+8) = -14

Therefore the two negative integers are - 22, - 14.

\huge\boxed{\text{Dominic}}

In this problem, 0 represents the sea level. Since Dominic is 175 feet below the surface (sea level), his current location is at -175 feet.

The same concept can be applied to Karen, who is at -138 feet.

We need to find who is lower, or farther below 0. This means the answer is \boxed{\text{Dominic}}.

• A car uses 30 gallons of gasoline for a trip of 800 miles. How many gallons would
nevsk [136]

Quantity of gasoline needed by a car to run 800 miles = 30 gallons

Quantity of gasoline needed by a car to run 1 mile =

= 30 ÷ 800

= 0.0375 gallons

So , to run 1 mile a car would need = 0.0375 gallons of oil

To run 700 miles the quantity of gasoline needed =

= 700 × 0.0375

= 26.25 gallons of gasoline

Therefore , a car will use 26.25 gallons of gasoline on a trip of 700 miles .

Choose the missing step in the given solution to the inequality -x -10 &gt; 14 + 2x <br>​
Andreyy89

Answer:

x < -8

Step-by-step explanation:

-x - 10 > 14 + 2x

Subtract 2x from both sides;

-3x - 10 > 14

Add 10 to both sides;

-3x > 24

Divide both sides by -3

The sign switches when divide by a negative number.

x < -8
