What two numbers add up to -53 and multiply to -24

Answers

Answer 1
Answer: assume the numbers are x , y
x+y =-53
x*y =-24
from equation 1 we get y = -53-x
sub in eqn.2
x* (-53 -x ) = -24
then x^2 + 53x -24 =0
and by solving the equation and substitute we get
the two numbers are
0.449 & -53.452

i know this is really late but its for people here now (like me) the answer would be x= -3 1/9

21/7 + 3/7(3x - 5) = -4
21/7 + 9/7x - 15/7 = -4.....multiply everything by 7
21 + 9x - 15 = - 28
9x + 6 = -28
9x = -28 - 6
9x = - 34
x = -34/9 or - 3 7/9

A recipe calls for 16 fluid ounces for light whipp cream. If Anthony has 1pint of whipping cream in his refrigerator does he have enough for the recipe

Answers

Answer:

Given: A recipe calls for 16 fluid ounces for light whipp cream.

Using:  1 fluid oz = 0.0625 pints

Ratio defined as a relationship between two numbers indicating how many times the first number contains the second.

i.e, a to b or a: b

By using ratio:

(pints)/(Fluid oz) =(0.0625)/(1)

As we need 16 fluid ounces

Multiply by 1  in the form of i,e (16)/(16)

(16)/(16) * (0.0625)/(1)= (16 * 0.0625)/(16)=(1 pints)/(16 fluid oz)

Therefore, for 16 fluid ounces we need 1 containers of 1 pints each
