Let x and y be the unknowns. Based on the given problem, we have:
x + y = -19 [The sum of two numbers is -19]
xy = 24 [The product of two numbers is 24]
Solve for these numbers either by elimination or substitution method. The recommended choice is substitution method.
Solve for y for the second equation:
y = 24/x
Substitute that expression for the first equation:
x + (24/x) = -19
Solve for x by rearranging the terms:
x² + 24 = -19x [Multiply both sides by x]
x² + 19x + 24 = 0
Since the expression can't be factored, you don't get integers for x and y. Let's complete the square, and see what we have:
x² + 19x + (19/2)² = -24 + (19/2)²
(x + (19/2))² = 66.25
x + (19/2) = ±√(66.25) or ±√(265/4)
x + (19/2) = ±√(265)/2
x = (-19 ± √(265))/2
Finally, substitute that value back for either of the equation and solve for y. You should get:
y = ±24/((-19 ± √(265))/2)
= ½(-19 ∓ √265)
So the numbers are:
x = ½ * (-19 - √265) and y = ½ * (√265 - 19)
y = ½ * (√(265) - 19) and y = ½ * (-19 - √265)
To find the mean of a set of numbers, you add up all the numbers and then divide the sum by the total count of numbers. Therefore, the mean of 19, 20, 24, 28, and 29 is (19 + 20 + 24 + 28 + 29) / 5 = 24.

To find the mean of a set of numbers, you add up all the numbers and then divide the sum by the total count of numbers. Therefore, the mean of 19, 20, 24, 28, and 29 is (19 + 20 + 24 + 28 + 29) / 5 = 24.
To convert a fraction to a percentage multiply by 100: 19/24 = 19/24 x 100 % = 791/6 % ≈ 79.167 %
