Question

2. I'm thinking of two positive integers. Their
sum is 8. Their product is 12. What are they?

Answer 1

2 and 6

Explanation:

Take integers to be X and Y

X*Y=12

X + Y = 8

from the second equation, X= 8-Y

put X in the first Equation

(8-Y)Y = 12

Expand the equation

-Y² + 8Y - 12 = 0

Factorize the above equation

(-Y + 2) (Y - 6) = 0

Y = 2 and Y = 6

choose any value of Y.

so Y = 6,

put Y in X + Y = 8

X + 6 = 8

X = 2

therefore the integers are 2 and 6

Answer 2

the answer are 2 and 6 ok
