Answer:

b = 33.546.

Step-by-step explanation:

a + b + c = 77     (1)

a - 5 = b + 5       (2)

a = 5c                 (3)

from equation 2:

a - b = 10

Adding this equation to equation 1:

2a + c = 87

But a = 5c so

10c + c = 87

c = 87/11 = 7.909

and a = 5*7.909 = 35.545.

b = 77 - 7.909 - 35.545

= 33.546

Find two integers whose sum is -3 and product is -18
Mariulka [41]

let two integers be x and y

A.T.Q

x+y= -3

or, x= -3-y(i)

and xy= -18

or,(-3-y)y= -18[by(i)]

or,- -3y-y²= -18

or,-y²= -18+3

or, -y²= -15

or, y²=15

therefore y=✓15

from (i)

x= -3-✓15

y=√15
