Question

Two positive integers have a product of 176. One integer is 5 less than the other integer. Which equation can be used to find the value of x, the greater integer?

Answer 1

`xy=176`

`y=x-5`


`\implies x(x-5)=176\implies x^2-5x-176=(x+11)(x-16)=0`

`\implies x=-11, x=16`

Since
`x>0`, we take
`x=16`, which means
`y=16-5=11`.

Answer 2

Answer: X(X-5)=176
