Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
There is no pair of real numbers that have a total of -4 and a product of 5. The complex numbers (-2+i) and (-2-i) will meet your requirements.

If the numbers of interest are 'a' and 'b', they will be zeros of the quadratic whose factored form is ...
(x -a)(x -b) = 0
Expanding that, we find an opportunity to use the given sum and product numbers:
x² -(a+b)x +ab = 0
x² -(-4)x +5 = 0
Rewriting this in vertex form gives ...
(x² +4x +4) +1 = 0
(x +2)² +1 = 0
We can find the values of x by subtracting 1 and taking the square root.
(x +2)² = -1
x +2 = ±√(-1) = ±i
x = -2±i
The two numbers of interest are -2+i and -2-i.
7 is

miles; the question includes the words "in all", which shows that the two fractions should be added together. To add fractions with the same denominator, you must simply add the numerators and keep the denominator unchanged.
8 is

yards of ribbon; this one also requires you to add the fractions-- the numerators should be added, but the denominator stays the same because the two fractions share the same denominator.
