The product of card c and d is -120. One number is odd and the other even, the even number is greater than the odd number, but the odd number has a greater absolute value than the even number. d is less than c. What are the numbers of the card of d and c?

Final answer:

To solve this problem, the numbers on the cards are 15 and -8.

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this problem, we need to find two numbers, c and d, where the product is -120. We also know that one number is odd and the other is even, the even number is greater than the odd number, and the odd number has a greater absolute value than the even number. Additionally, d is less than c.

Let's start by listing the factors of 120:
120 = 1 x 120
120 = 2 x 60
120 = 3 x 40
120 = 4 x 30
120 = 5 x 24
120 = 6 x 20
120 = 8 x 15
120 = 10 x 12

We can see that the factors of 120 that satisfy the given conditions are c = 15 and d = -8. So the numbers on the cards are 15 and -8.
