Given:
- The product of two numbers = -20/9
- The value of one number = 4
To Find:
- The value of the other number.
Solution:
Let "x" and "y" be the two numbers. It is given that one number is 4 therefore let "x = 4". Now we should find the value of the other number "y".
We can form an equation from the given data. That is,
⇒ x×y = -20/9
substitute the value of "x" in the above equation. We get,
⇒ (4)×y=-20/9
rearrange the above equation in order to find the value of "y" by transferring "4" to the RHS.
⇒ y = (-20/9)/4
⇒ y = (-20/9)×(1/4) { cancel the divisible terms in the equation}
⇒ y = -5/9
∴ The value of the other number is -5/9.
