Two numbers are in the ratio 6:-7 if their sum is -52, find the numbers.
- 20 and -32
- -24 and -28
- -18 and -34
- -30 and -22
Explanation
Given that two numbers are in the ratio of 6:7 and their sum is -52, we can determine the numbers as follows:
let the two numbers be 6x and 7x.
The sum of these numbers should be -52:
6x + 7x = -52
13x = -52
Solving for x:
x = -52/13
x = -4
Therefore, the two numbers are 6x and 7x:
6 (-4) = -24
7 (-4) = -28
The numbers in the ratio 6:-7 that sum up to -52 are -24 and -28.
