Please write your questions in english. Anyway, if google translate got it right, you're looking for two numbers a and b, with ratio 3 and sum -16.


From the information about the ratio, we can deduce


[tex] \frac{a}{b} =3 \implies a = 3b [/tex]


Plug this expression inside the one of the sum to get


[tex] a+b = -16 \implies 3b+b = -16 \implies 4b = -16 \implies b = -4 [/tex]


And since [tex] a = 3b [/tex], we have [tex] a = 3(-4) = -12 [/tex]
