Let us assume the two numbers to be "x" and "y".
Then
xy = - 24
x = - (24/y)
And
x + y = 2
Putting the value of x from the first equation in the second equation, we get
x + y = 2
- (24/y) + y = 2
- 24 + y^2 = 2y
y^2 - 2y - 24 = 0
y^2 - 6y + 4y - 24 = 0
y(y - 6) + 4(y - 6) = 0
(y - 6) (y + 4) = 0
When
y - 6 = 0
y = 6
Then
x + y = 2
x + 6 = 2
x = 2 - 6
   = -4
And when
y + 4 = 0
y = -4
Then
x + y = 2
x - 4 = 2
x = 2 + 4
   = 6
So the two unknown numbers are -4 and 6.

densk [106]

Answer:

<h2>p(obtaining a red counter) = 0.625</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

The total number of counters in the bag is 5 + 3 = 8.

and only 5 are red.

Then

the probability of obtaining a red counter is :

= \frac{5}{8} = 0.625

The area of a square for on a scale drawing of 100 square centimeters and the scale drawing to 1 cm: 2 feet what is the area of
lilavasa [31]

Answer:

1.\boxed{\text{400 ft}^{2}}; 2. \boxed{\frac{1}{3716}}

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1. Calculate the area of the floor

If the area A₁ of a square floor on the scale drawing is 100 cm², the length of a side is 10 cm.

The side length l of the actual floor is  

l = 10 cm × (2 ft/1 cm) = 20 ft

The area A₂ of the floor is  

A = l² = (20 ft)² = \boxed{\text{400 ft}^{2}}\\

Step 2. Calculate the area ratios

We must express both areas in the same units.  

Let's express the area of the room in square centimetres.

l = 20 ft ×  (12 in/1 ft) = 240 in

l = 240 in × (2.54 cm/1 in) = 609.6 cm

A₂ = l² = (609.6 cm)² = 371 612 cm²

The area A₁ on the scale drawing is 100 cm².

The ratio of the areas is

\frac{A_{1}}{ A_{2}} = \frac{100}{371612} = \frac{1 }{3716}\\

The ratio of the area in the drawing to the actual area is \boxed{\frac{1}{3716}}
