Answer:

The product is 8.25

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

x-----> one number

y ----> the other number

I assume x>y

x-y=4 ----> equation A

x+y=-7 ---> equation B

Solve the system by elimination

Adds equation A and equation B

x-y=4

x+y=-7

-----------

2x=-3

x=-1.5

Find the value of y

x-y=4

-1.5-y=4

y=-1.5-4=-5.5

The numbers are -1.5 and -5.5

Find their product

(-1.5)(-5.5)=8.25

(45pts) An elevator holds at most 1,400 pounds. A team of movers and their cart have a combined weight of 1,200 pounds. If each

emmainna [20.7K]

Let $x$ be the number of boxes the team brings with them. Their weight combined with the boxes can't exceed the capacity of 1400. Assuming the elevator runs fine at that exact weight, you want to find the number of boxes, each of which contributes 40 pounds. This is given by the equation

$1400=1200+40x$

Solving for $x$ , you have

$1400=1200-40x$
$200=40x$
$x=5$

So the team can bring *at most* 5 boxes at a time.
