Answer:
<em>Numbers: 6 and -2</em>
Step-by-step explanation:
<u>Equations</u>
This question can be solved by inspection. It's just a matter of factoring 12 into two factors that sum 4. Both numbers must be of different signs and they are 6 and -2. Their sum is indeed 6-2=4 and their product is 6*(-2)=-12.
However, we'll solve it by the use of equations. Let's call x and y to the numbers. They must comply:
![x+y=4\qquad\qquad [1]](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=x%2By%3D4%5Cqquad%5Cqquad%20%5B1%5D)
![x.y=-12\qquad\qquad [2]](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=x.y%3D-12%5Cqquad%5Cqquad%20%5B2%5D)
Solving [1] for y:

Substituting in [2]

Operating:

Rearranging:

Solving with the quadratic formula:

With a=1, b=-4, c=-12:



The solutions are:


This confirms the preliminary results.

(A)The area of the square is greater than the area of the rectangle.
(C)The value of x must be greater than 4
(E)The area of the rectangle is 
Step-by-step explanation:
The Square has side lengths of (x - 2) units.
Area of the Square

The rectangle has a length of x units and a width of (x - 4) units.
Area of the Rectangle =
<u>The following statements are true:</u>
(A)The area of the square is greater than the area of the rectangle.
This is because the area of the square is an addition of 4 to the area of the rectangle.
(C)The value of x must be greater than 4
If x is less than or equal to 4, the area of the rectangle will be negative or zero.
(E)The area of the rectangle is
