Which statement about the sum of a negative number and a positive number is true? Select two answers. A.
The sum must be positive.

B.
The sum will be positive if the absolute value of the negative number is greater than the absolute value of the positive number.

C.
The sum must be negative.

D.
The sum must be zero.

E.
The sum will be negative if the absolute value of the negative number is greater than the absolute value of the positive number.

F.
The sum will be zero if the absolute value of the negative number is equal to the absolute value of the positive number.

point a is the center of the circle that passes through points e, f, and g and the center of the circle that passes through points x, y, and z.

answer: integers are just whole numbers: positive, negative, and zero.

i = {-∞, -2, -1, 0, 1, 2, 3, ∞}

let x = 1st integer

let y = 2nd integer

x = 3y + 17   {equation 1}

xy = -24         {equation 2}

substitute 3y+17 in place of x n equation 2

and solve for y.

(3y+17)y = -24

3y2 + 17y = -24

3y2 + 17y + 24 = 0

from quadratic equation:

y = [-17±√(172-4(3)(24))]/(2(3))

y = (-17 ±√1)/6

y = (-17+1)/6   or     y = (-17-1)/6

y = -16/6           or     y = -18/6

y = -2 2/3         or   y = -3

since we are dealing with

y = -3

x = 3y+17 = -9+17 = 8

the integers are -3, 8
