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
The answer is 88 because both numbers are fractions and you need to divide it. So you flip one of the fractions from bottom to top, in this case your next step can be 11/2 multiplied by 16. And then you divied 16 by 2 which is 8. After that you multiply 8 to 11 and that gives you 88 =)
Answer: Least common multiple of 4 and 8 is 8
