Question

$-42\times x=336$, $-28\times y=-84$
What is the value of $x$ and $y$ respectively?

• A. $8$ and $3$
• B. $-8$ and $3$
• C. $8$ and $-3$
• D. $-8$ and $-3$

Answer 1

Answer: (B)

$-8$ and $3$

Given, $-42\times x=336$ and $-28\times y=-84$

Thus $x=\frac{336}{-42}=-8$

and $y=\frac{-84}{-28}=3$
