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

________ are ratios that name the same comparison
Gre4nikov [31]
<span>Equivalent ratios are ratios that name the same comparison. Meanwhile, equivalent fractions </span><span>are fractions that name the same amount or part. Equivalent ratios and equivalent fractions are similar in that the two quantities refer to ratios and fractions that ultimately have the same value but are expressed in a different way. For example, 48/64 is equivalent to 72/96, both have the value of 3/4. </span>

Write an equation of the line passing through the points (3,8) and (-2,-22)
uranmaximum [27]

Answer:

y=6x+8 or y=6x-22

Step-by-step explanation:

use the equation y=mx+b

m is the slope and b is the y-intercept

to find the slope use the equation m = y2-y1 over x2-x1

-22 - 8 / -2 - 3 = -30 / -5 = 6

6 is your slope and for the y-intercept you can choose whichever y-intercept to put into the equation.

HOPE THIS HELPS!!
