Question

The product of two integers is 84. If one
integer is (-12), find the other.​

Answer 1

The other integer is - 7.

Explanation:

Let the 2 integers be x and y

Given:

one of the integer is -12, Let x = - 12

Product of two integers is 84,

that is,

x × y = 84

- 12 × y = 84 [ given one of the integer is -12 ]

`(-12 * y )/(-12) = (84 )/(-12)` [ divide both sides by -12 ]

`y = - 7`

Answer 2

-7

Explanation:

-12x = 84

/-12 /-12

x = -7
