Mathematics

By multiplying each ratio by the second number of the other ratio, you can determine if they are equivalent. Multiply both numbers in the first ratio by the second number of the second ratio. For example, if the ratios are 3:5 and 9:15, multiply 3 by 15 and 5 by 15 to get 45:75.

What two numbers multiply to negative 8 but add to negative 7
Amiraneli [1.4K]
Let "a" and "b" be the two numbers
So a*b=-8 and a+b=-7
Therefore S=-7 and P=-8
Using (x^2)-S+P=0 => (x^2)-(-7)+(-8)=0 => (x^2)+7-8=0
By factorizing we get (x+8)(x-1)=0
So a can be either -8 or 1 and b can be 1 or -8 
Meaning that the two numbers are -8 and 1.
