Answer: -9
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
The sum of a number and two is equal to negative 7
Suppose x is that number
So, the number is 
.
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
xy = 42
x+y = - 2 Substitute into the top equation
y = -2 - x Put in for y
x(-2 - x) = 42 Remove the brackets
-2x - x^2 = 42 Subtract 42 from both sides.
-2x - x^2 - 42 = 0 Put in the more normal order.
-x^2 - 2x - 42 = 0 Multiply by -1
x^2 + 2x + 42 = 0
This cannot be factored. It gives complex roots as it is written. I will give you the answer but I kind of doubt the question is correct.
x1 = - 1 + 6.40i
x2 = -1 - 6.40i

The missing able is 43 degrees
Answer:
b is 10 degrees and a is 64 degrees.
Step-by-step explanation:
Properties of a parallelogram needed for this problem: Opposite angles are congruent and adjacent angles are supplementary, meaning they add to 180 degrees.
This means that in the picture, 2a and 12b+8 are equal, while 2a and 5b+2 are supplementary.
From this we can make two equations:
2a=12b+8
and
2a+5b+2=180
If we subtract 5b+2 in the second equation, both equations will equal 2a. I'll explain why that's good. We end up with:
2a=12b+8
and
2a=180-5b-2
Now, we can set the two equations equal to each other because they both equal the same thing. Then simplify.
12b+8=180-5b-2
17b=170
b=10
Knowing b is 10 degrees, we can easily plug that back into one of our original two equations. I'll choose 2a=12b+8.
2a=12(10)+8
2a=120+8
2a=128
a=64
b is 10 degrees and a is 64 degrees.
