Question

Two positive integers have a product of 50. One

integer is twice the other. What are the
integers?

Answer 1

5 & 10

Explanation:

x = integer, y= integer

We're given that they have a product of 50, meaning that when you multiply them they equal 50. So:

`xy=50`

It also gives us that one integer is twice the other:

`x=2y`

-You could do
`y=2x` or
`x=2y` , it doesn't matter

If I plug that in, I get:

`2y^2=50`

`y^2=25`

`y=5, -5` or ±5

However! It says 2 positive integers so you would ignore the negative version

So
`y=5`, and
`x=10`
