Question

Find two integers whose sum is 17 and
product is 60

Answer 1

Answer: 5 and 12

Numbers which make 17

1+ 16 = 16
2+15 = 30
3+14 = 42
4+13 = 52
5+12 = 60
6+11 = 66
7+10 = 70
8+9 = 72

Now you have to times the numbers to find the product

As you can see only 5 and 12 add to make 17 and times to make 60

Answer 2

5 and 12

Explanation:

consider the factors of 60

1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 10, 12, 15, 20, 30, 60

The only pair of factors which sum to 17 are 5 and 12
