Question

the sum of two numbers is 14 and the ratio of the two numbers is -3. what is the product of the two numbers

Answer 1

Answer:

what is the ratio? write is properly! I am giving answer assuming the ratio is -3:1.

The answer is: -147

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that -: Sum of two numbers is 14 and their ratio is -3:1

Sol: Let The two numbers be x and y.

now, x + y = 14 1st

and x:y = -3:1 2nd

Now, from 1st we get x = 14 - y.

On substituting the value of x in 2nd we get,

14-y/y = -3

14-y = -3y

14 = -2y

y = -7.

Therefore x = 21

So, the numbers are 21 and -7.

On multiplying the numbers we get product as -147.

Hope you understand.
