Question 1043558
The product of two numbers is 48. The first number is negative, and the second number is four more than twice the first number. Find the two numbers. 
---------
x*y = 48
y = 2x+4
-----
x(2x+4) = 48
2x^2 + 4x - 48 = 0
x^2 + 2x - 24 = 0
----
(x+6)(x-4) = 0
x = -6
y = 2x+4 = -12+4 = -8
