Answer:

-3 and -9

Step-by-step explanation:

First, it is helpful to write out what is given by the question, with variables x and y.

x*y = 27

x+y = -12

Now we will isolate a variable from one and plug it into the other:

y = -12 - x

x(-12-x) = 27

-x^2 -12x -27 = 0

x^2 + 12x + 27

(x + 9) (x + 3) = 0

x must be either -9 or -3

Now we plug those x-values into either equation to get their corresponding y-values:

-9 + y = -12

y = -3

-3 + y = -12

y = -9

We can see that the first x value (-9) corresponds to y = -3, and the second pair is -3 and -9. Either way, the pair is -3 and -9.

Therefore the pair of numbers must be -3 and -9.

Multiply 3x9 and it gives u 27
And -3 plus -9 equal -12

A construction team gives an estimate of three months to repave a large stretch of a very busy road with their core crew of 9 pe

Licemer1 [7]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

9 crew members complete a job in 3 months

Number of crew members is inversely proportion to construction time :

Let :

Crew members = m

Construction time = t

m α 1 /t

m = k/t

m = 9 ; t = 3

9 = k /3

k = 27

If t = 1 (one month)

m =?

m = k/t

m = 27 / 1

Hence;

m = 27 * 1

m = 27 workers

In the diagram, VZ/YZ=WZ/XZ. To prove that △VWZ ~ △YXZ by the SAS similarity theorem, which other sides or angles should be used

Vitek1552 [10]

Answer:

The angles $\angle VZW\cong \angle YZX$ are used to prove the similarity of triangles VWZ and YXZ.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given information: $\frac{VZ}{YZ}=\frac{WZ}{XZ}$

Two triangles are called congruent if their corresponding sides are in same proportion or the corresponding angles are same.

If two corresponding sides of triangle have same proportion and their inclined angle is same, then by SAS rule of similarity both triangles are similar.

From the given figure it is noticed that the ∠VZW and ∠YZX are vertically opposite angles. The vertically opposite angles are always equal.

$\angle VZW=\angle YZX$ (Vertically opposite angles)

$\frac{VZ}{YZ}=\frac{WZ}{XZ}$ (Given)

By SAS rule of similarity

$VWZ\sim YXZ$

Therefore the angles $\angle VZW\cong \angle YZX$ are used to prove the similarity of triangles VWZ and YXZ.
