Question

Product of two numbers is -216. If one of the number is 12, find the other number

Answer 1

`\huge\boxed{-18}`

We know that
`xy=-216`, where
`x` and
`y` are the two numbers.

We know that one of the numbers,
`x`, is equal to
`12`.

`12y=-216`

We need to find the value of
`y`. To do so, we must isolate it. In this case, we can isolate
`y` by dividing both sides of the equation by
`12`.

`y=\boxed{-18}`

Now, let's check our answer. If we multiply the two factors together, we should get a product of
`-216`.

`12*(-18)=-216`

`-216=-216\ \ \huge\checkmark`
