Question

Sheer multiplied two numbers and got (-16) as the product. She then subtracted the second number from the first and got the answer as 10. The two numbers are____??​

Answer 1

Answer:

ZX Y = -16

Z-Y = 10

Z = 10 + Y

Yx (10 + Y) = -16

10Y + Y = -16

11Y = -16

Y = -16/11 =1.45

Z-Y = 10

Z-1.45 =10

Z= 10 + 1.45

Z = 11.45
