Let the two number be x and y.
x+y=-1......i
2x+4y=-10.....ii
solving the simultaneous equation we have:
from equation i, making x the subject we get:
x=-1-y........iii
substituting iii in ii we get:
2(-1-y)+4y=-10
-2-2y+4y=-10
2y=-10+2
2y=-8
y=-8/2=-4
substituting the value of y in iii we get:
x=-1-(-4)
x=-1+4
x=3
therefore the first number is 3 and the second number is -4

Esteban made the following drawing and then stated this conjecture the altitude of atriangle always lies inside of or along the
Radda [10]

Answer:

The error Esteban made that the altitude can be lie outside the triangle

Step-by-step explanation:

* Lets explain the position of the altitude in any triangles

- The altitude of a triangle is a line drawn from a vertex to the

  opposite side and perpendicular to it

- So altitude is the shortest distance from a vertex to its opposite side

- If the triangle is acute triangle, then its altitudes lie inside it

- If the triangle is obtuse triangle, the the altitudes of the sides of

 the obtuse angle lie out side it and the third altitude lies inside it

- If the triangle is right triangle, then the two sides of the right angle

 are altitudes of it and the third altitude lies inside it

- Look to the attached figures for more understand

∵ Esteban said  the altitude of a triangle always lies inside of or

  along the side of the triangle

∴ The error Esteban made that the altitude can be lie outside

   the triangle

10 -4 (2x-1) = -2(3-x)​
Reika [66]

Answer:

x = 2

Step-by-step explanation:

10 -4 (2x-1) = -2(3-x)​

10 - 8x + 4 = -6 + 2x

-10x = -6 -10-4

-10x = -20

x = -20/-10

x = 2
