Two factors of –48 have a difference of 19. the factor with a greater absolute value is positive.
what is the sum of the factors?
a. –19
b. –13
c. 13
d. 16

 Option C, 13

Explanation:

Two possible factors of -48 are -16 ,3 or  -3, 16

And difference is greater number minus smaller number we will get as below

3-(-16) = 19 or 16-(-3) = 19

Case 1: two factors are -16 and 3

sum of factors = -16 +3 = -13

Now, we take absolute value of sum of factors |-13| = 13

Case 2: two factors are 16 and -3

sum of factors = 16 -3 = 13

Now, we take absolute value of sum of factors |13| = 13

so, C is the correct option

answer is because 4×10=40

and 98×4= is 392

40,392
