Answer:
The two numbers are 4 and -4
Step-by-step explanation:
Turn the words into equations: let's assign one number to be x and the other to be y
x+8=y
x*y=-16
To solve, substitute the value of y in the first equation into y in the second equation.
This gives x*(x+8)=-16
Simplifying gives x^2+8x=-16
x^2+8x+16=0
(x+4)^2=0
x=-4
plug this value of x back into the first equation, -4+8=y, y is 4
Now to make sure the answer is correct: 4 is 8 more than -4, and 4*-4 does equal 16

There are 1000 cubic inches.
And 1000 ÷ 125 ⇒ 8

Step-by-step explanation:
2 chords intersecting inside a circle , then the product of the parts of one chord is equal to the product of the parts of the other chord.
6
BE × ED = AE × CE , that is
10 × 3x = 12(2x + 1) ← distribute parenthesis by 12
30x = 24x + 12 ( subtract 24x from both sides )
6x = 12 ( divide both sides by 6 )
x = 2
then
ED = 3X = 3(2) = 6
7
RJ × JP = SJ × JQ , that is
6 × 3x = 4(4x + 1) ← distribute parenthesis by 4
18x = 16x + 4 ( subtract 16x from both sides )
2x = 4 ( divide both sides by 2 )
x = 2
then
RP = RJ + JP = 6 + 3x = 6 + 3(2) = 6 + 6 = 12
