What two numbers multiply to -24 and add to -11

Let x and y be the two numbers.

We have x+y=-11 (because their sum is -11)
⇒ x= -11-y.

On the other hand, we also have x*y= -24 (because their product is -24)
⇒ (-11-y)*y= -24
⇒ -y^2 -11y= -24
⇒ y^2+ 11y -24= 0
⇒ ...
⇒ y= (-11-sqrt(217))/2 or y= (-11+sqrt(217))/2

x= (-11+sqrt(217))/2 or x= (-11-sqrt(217))/2 .

Conclusion: the two numbers are (-11+sqrt(217))/2 and (-11-sqrt(217))/2~

Lalo has 1,500 minutes per month on his cell phone plan. How many more minutes can he use if he has already talked for 785 minut
Ket [755]

Answer:

715 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

To find out how many more minutes he can use, subtract the number of minutes he has already talked from the number of minutes  of his plan

Let

x -----> the number of minutes  of his plan

y -----> he number of minutes he has already talked

so

x-y

we have

x=1,500\ min\\y=785\ min

substitute

1,500-785=715\ min
