HI,
\n" ); document.write( "Let n represent one of the numbers. Then (4-n) is the other.
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "question states
\n" ); document.write( "n*(4-n) = -32
\n" ); document.write( "4n - n^2= -32
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "4n - n^2 + 32 = 0
\n" ); document.write( "multiply thru by -1
\n" ); document.write( "n^2 -4n -32 = 0
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "factor
\n" ); document.write( "(n - 8)(n + 4)= 0
\n" ); document.write( "n = 8
\n" ); document.write( "(4-n) = -4
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "-4 and 8 are the numbers
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "dheck your answers
\n" ); document.write( "-4 * 8 = -32 \n" ); document.write( "
