If the smaller number is x, then the larger number has to be 20 - x in order for the arithmetic mean to be 10, as their sum must be 20.
If the geometric mean is 8 the product of the numbers has to be 64 and so the larger number is 64/x
Solving 64/x = 20 - x gives the quadratic x^2 -20x +64 = 0 so x = 4 or 16.
The two numbers are 4 and 16.
Step-by-step explanation:
WX is parallel to YZ and WZ is also parallel to XY
25% = 0.25
40 / 0.25 = 160
40 is 25% of 160.
There are 160 children in the club.
answer
D 2
factor
factor the equation 
into (x + a) and (x + b) so that a + b = -2 and a * b = -8
the two numbers that meet these conditions are a = -4 and b = 2
find solutions
set both (x - 4) and (x + 2) equal to zero to find your solutions
x - 4 = 0
x = 4
x + 2 = 0
x = -2
add solutions
since the two solutions are x = 4 and x = -2, add them together to get your final answer
4 + (-2) = 2
For the first one it’s D.3
