Answer:
-6.13406 and 61.13406
Explanation:
x + y = 55
x × y = -375
y = 55 - x
x × (55 - x) = -375
55x -x² = -375
x² - 55x - 375 = 0
solution of a quadratic equation :
x = (-b ± sqrt(b² - 4ac))/(2a)
a=1
b=-55
c=-375
x = (55 ± sqrt(55² + 4×375))/2 = (55 ± sqrt(4525))/2 =
= (55 ± sqrt(25 × 181))/2 = (5×11 ± 5×sqrt(181))/2 =
= 5/2 × (11 ± sqrt(181)) =
= 61.13406... or -6.13406...
y = 55 - 5/2×(11 ± sqrt(181)) = 55/2 ± 5/2×sqrt(181) =
= -6.13406... or 61.13406...
