Question

Find two numbers that Multiply to -40 and add to 6

Answer 1

Reorder the terms: 6.25 + -5y + y^2 = -14 + 6.25

Combine like terms: -14 + 6.25 = -7.75 6.25 + -5y + y2 = -7.75

Factor a perfect square on the left side: (y + -2.5)(y + -2.5) = -7.75

Can't calculate square root of the right side (negative). The solution to this equation could not be determined.

Answer 2

X * y = -40
X + y = 6
I believe it would be -4 and 10
