Question

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 2

m(m-3)=108

Explanation:

Complete question below:

Two 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

Solution

On the number line,

Let

m= larger integer

The integers are 3 numbers apart on the number line, so

m-3=smaller integer

The product (×) of the larger and smaller integers=108

(m)*(m-3)=108

m(m-3)=108

Therefore, the equation that can be used to solve for m, the larger integer is:

m(m – 3) = 108
