Answer: -207
Step-by-step explanation:
7x^2 - 16x - 8 = 0
using the quadratic formula x = [ -(-16)+/- sqrt((-16^2 - 4*7-8] / 2*7
= (16 +/1 sqrt 480) / 14
= 2.71, -0.42 to nearest hundredth
99 and 59
X=big number
X-40 = small
X+ x-40 =158
2X -40=158
2X =198
X=99. Big number is 99
99-40 =59
99+59=158
