Question

10. The product of two integers is -18. The difference between the integers is 9. The sum of the

integers are 3. What are the two integers?

Answer 1

x = 6

y = - 3

Explanation:

x * y = - 18

x - y = 9. 3-y-y = 9. 3 -2y = 9.

-2y = 9-3

y = 6/-2

y = -3

x + y = 3. x = 3-y

x * -3 = - 18

x = -18/-3

x = 6
