two negative numbers are multiplied to give a product of 48 . if the lesser number is 10 less than thrice the greater number , what is the greater number ?
test the options . the options give you the greater number . ( a ) - 6 triple of - 6 is - 18 and 10 less is - 8 . - 8 * - 6 = 48 ( correct ) correct answer ( a )
divide(subtract(negate(sqrt(subtract(power(10, const_2), multiply(multiply(negate(48), const_3), const_4)))), 10), multiply(const_2, const_3))
