Understanding Equations and Ratios

The video tutorial explains how to solve a problem involving two numbers with a given sum and ratio. It begins by setting up equations for the sum and ratio of the numbers. The tutorial then demonstrates how to solve for X by isolating it using the ratio equation. Next, it shows how to substitute and solve for Y. Finally, the tutorial calculates the product of the two numbers, providing a step-by-step solution to the problem.

What is the sum of the two numbers in the problem?

• 16

• 20

• 25

• 10

What is the ratio of the two numbers?

• 1

• -5

• -1

• 5

How do you express X in terms of Y from the equation X/Y = -5?

• X = 5Y

• X = -5Y

• X = -Y/5

• X = Y/5

What is the value of Y after solving the equations?

• -5

• 5

• -4

• 4

What is the product of the two numbers?

• 60

• -80
