The product of two numbers is 48. The first number is negative,...
\n" ); document.write( "...then both of the numbers are negative!!\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"system%28xy=48%2Cy=4%2B2x%29\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"x%282x%2B4%29=48\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"2x%5E2%2B4x-48=0\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"x%5E2%2B2x-24=0\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"%28x-4%29%28x%2B6%29=0\"
\n" ); document.write( "and we must take the NEGATIVE SOLUTION VALUE, according to the description.
\n" ); document.write( "\"highlight%28x=-6%29\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "We must also have a value from y according to the described system, listed at the top.
\n" ); document.write( "\"y=4%2B2%28-6%29\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"y=4-12\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"highlight%28y=-8%29\"-----which also is consistent with the other equation.
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
