Answer:

The two numbers are 8 and 5.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let consider x and y to be these two numbers.

So;

(x) * (y) = 40 ---- (1)

x + y     = 13 ----- (2)

From (2), let x =  13 - y

Then;

(13 - y) * y = 40

13y - y² = 40

13y - y² - 40 = 0

-y² + 13y - 40 = 0

Multiply through by (-)

y² - 13y + 40 = 0

By factorization;

(y - 8) (y - 5) = 0

y = 8 or  y = 5

CHECK:

8 * 5 = 40

8 + 5 = 13

Therefore, the two numbers are 8 and 5.

Answer: m=−3

Step-by-step explanation: −40−2(3m+1/2)=7m−2

−40+(−2)(3m)+(−2)(1/2)=7m+−2

−40+−6m+−1=7m+−2

(−6m)+(−40+−1)=7m−2

−6m+−41=7m−2

−6m−41−7m=7m−2−7m

−13m−41+41=−2+41

−13m/−13=39/−13

m=−3

What mistake I guess Keith did make is he subtracted 2 from -39 which equaled to -37 which caused him divide -37 by 13 when it should have been 39 divided by 13 because he should have left 39 alone and not have subtracted 2 from it also it should not have been negative basically what I'm trying to say is that he did his division and subtraction wrong.
