Yes indeed it is. Your correct
Answer: -8 and 6
Step-by-step explanation:
factors of 48: 1,2,4,6,8,12,24,48
1 x 48
2 x 24
4 x 12
6 x 8
for a negative product, one of the factors must be negative and the other positive.
for two number to have a sum of -2, the greater number must be the negative number, and both numbers should have be two values apart (ex. 6 and 8, 3 and 5, 12 and 14, etc.). In this case, 8 would have to be negative whereas 6 will be left positive.
and then we check:
-8 x 6 = 48
-8 + 6 = -2
Ron has 22 cards
number one tip in math, try to create equation!
set number of cards Ron has as x (always set x as what you are looking for)
set number of cards Tori has as (x-9) because if Ron has 9 more cards than Tori that's same thing as saying Tori has 9 cards less than Ron
Number of cards Tori and Ron has need to equal 35
Therefore,
x + (x-9) = 35
Solve:
2x-9=35
bring over 9 to other side
2x=44
divide both sides by 2
x=22
So number of cards Ron has is 22
Answer:
the correct answer is 4 and 21
