Question

wo 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

M(M + 3) = 108

The two numbers would be represented as m and m+3 to show the 3 units apart. So when multiplied, it looks like m times m+3

Answer 2

M(M + 3) = 108

The two numbers would be represented as m and m+3 to show the 3 units apart. So when multiplied, it looks like m times m+3
