Question

Two positive integers are 3 units apart on a number line. Their product is 108.

Which equation can be used to solve for m, the greater integer?

m(m – 3) = 108

m(m + 3) = 108
(m + 3)(m – 3) = 108
(m – 12)(m – 9) = 108

Answer 1

A

Explanation:

Answer 2

Equation that can be used to solve m, if m is the greater integer is:
m(m+3)=108
Solution is: m=12 ( 12*9=108)
Answer: A) m(m-3)=108
