Answer: 9, -4
Step-by-step explanation:
We can write an equation:
xy=-36
x+y=5
Factors of -36 are: 1, -36, -1, 36, 2, -13, -2, 13, 4, -9, -9, 4, 6, -6
There are only 2 factors here that add up to -36: 9 and -4
Is the 10 taking away 5 or was it meant to me 10.5 ?
250-3m
m represents months
Not an equation but an expression since I don’t know the number of months he was on the diet.
M = ( (-6+4)/2, (3+-2)/2 )
M = (-1, 1/2)
