xy=-96\\
x+y=20\\\\
xy=-96\\
x=20-y\\\\
(20-y)y=-96\\
20y-y^2=-96\\
y^2-20y-96=0\\
y^2-24y+4y-96=0\\
y(y-24)+4(y-24)=0\\
(y+4)(y-24)=0\\
y=-4 \vee y=24\\\\
x=20-(-4) \vee x=20-24\\
x=24 \vee x=-4\\\\
(x,y)\in\{(24,-4),(-4,24)\}

So these numbers are -4 and 24.

If they multiply to -96, that means one number will be negative. If the smaller number of the two is negative, then when you add them you will get a positive number.

Lets first find factors of -96 (just make the smaller number negative so that way when we add we can find the correct sum faster)

-96 = 

96 x -1 
48 x -2 
32 x -3
24 x -4
16 x -6
12 x -8

Now
96 + (-1) = 95
48 + (-2) = 46
32 + (-3) = 29
24 + (-4) = 20
16 + (-6) = 10
12 + (-8) = 4

The only pair that multiplies to -96 and adds to 20 is 24 and -4

2.5(t - 2) - 6 = 9 (solve for the unknown variable)
Elis [28]

2.5(t - 2) - 6 = 9

2.5(t - 2) = 9 + 6 = 15

t - 2 = 15/2.5 = 150/25 = 6

t = 6 + 2 = 8

Answer: 8

Check: 2.5(8 - 2) - 6 = 2.5(6) - 6 = 1.5(6) = 9  good

Answer:

Eddie used the incorrect ratio for sin

Step-by-step explanation:

sinT = \frac{opposite}{hypotenuse} = \frac{UV}{UT} = \frac{8}{17} , then

∠ T = sin^{-1} (\frac{8}{17} )
