Answer:

-10 and 2

Step-by-step explanation:

1.  Think about what numbers multiply to -20:  -10 and 2, 10 and -2, -20 and 1, 20 and -1, 4 and -5, -4 and 5

2.  Then, think about which of the above adds to -8.  This leaves you with -10 and 2

Answer: 2 and -10

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Starter:</u>

Let x be one of the two numbers

Let y be the other number

-------------------------------------------------------------------

Solve:

Given

x + y = -8

xy = -20

Simplify

x = -8 - y

xy = -20

Substitution

(-8 - y)y = -20

Expand parenthesis

-8y - y² = -20

Add 20 on both sides

-8y - y² + 20 = -20 + 20

-8y - y² + 20 = 0

Solve quadratic equation

(y - 2) (y + 10) = 0

y = 2 or y = -10

x = -8 - y

x = -8 - (2) or x = -8 - (10)

x = -10 or x = 2

Hope this helps!! :)

2 wholes and 3/12 + 3/? = 2 wholes and 5/8 .what is the missing number ?
Sladkaya [172]
Basically you know that the 2 wholes from both sides cancel out.

Set up the equation, 5/8 = 3/12 + 3/x

3/x =  5/8 - 3/12

Set them to have a common denominator, 3/x = 15/24 - 6/24

3/x = 9/24

Simplify 9/24 and you will get 3/8

3/x = 3/8

Obviously this means x = 8
