Answer:

a = -5

b = 2

Step-by-step explanation:

a+b=-3

<u>a-b= -7</u>              +

2a  = -10

a = -10/2

a = -5

a + b = -3

-5 + b = -3

b = -3 + 5

b = 2

What numbers multiply to -30 and add to -3
krek1111 [17]
Let the numbers be x and y.  Then xy = -30 and  x+y = -3.

Solve xy = -30 for y:    y = -30/x

subst. -30/x for y in   x+y= -3:     x  -  30/x = -3

Multiply all 3 terms by x:  x^2 - 30 = -3x, so   x^2 + 3x - 10 = 0

Solve this quadratic equation for x.     x: {-5, 2}

If x = -5, then   x+y = -3 becomes -5 + y = -3, and y = 2.

You should check to determine whether x=2 is also correct.  If it is, what is the corresponding y value?
