Answer:

If the product of two integers is -112 and one of them is -8, that means the value of the second integer would be 14.

Explanation:

The product of two integers equals -112 means that there are two numbers that, when multiplied, were equivalent to -112. Since you know one of the integers is -8, you can infer that the second integer is both a positive number AND the remainder of
(-112)/(-8) or 14.

\huge\bold{Given :}

Product of two integers = - 112

One of the integer = -8


\huge\bold{To\:find :}

The other integer.


\large\mathfrak{{\pmb{\underline{\orange{Solution}}{\orange{:}}}}}


\sf\blue{The \:other \:integer\:is\: 14.}


\large\mathfrak{{\pmb{\underline{\red{Step-by-step\:explanation}}{\red{:}}}}}

Let the other integer be
x.

As per the question, we have


Product \: \: of \: \: two \: \: integers = - 112


\: - 8 * x = - 112


\: x = ( - 112)/( - 8)


\: x = 14


\sf\purple{Therefore,\:the\:other\:integer\:x\:is\:14.}


\huge\bold{To\:verify :}


- 8 * 14 = - 112


\: - 112 = - 112

➺ L. H. S. = R. H. S

Hence verified.
