Hey ! there

Answer:

  • Other number is -20

Explanation:

In this question we are given that the product of two integers is -160 and one of them is 8 . And we are asked to find the other integer .

For finding the other integer we are assuming ,

  • Other integer as ' x '

And now we can find other Integer by making equation and solving it .

SOLUTION : -

Equation is :


\quad \dashrightarrow \qquad \: 8 * x = - 160

or ,


\quad \dashrightarrow \qquad \: 8x = - 160

To isolate the variable x , We are dividing both sides by 8 :


\quad \dashrightarrow \qquad \: \frac{ \cancel{8}x}{ \cancel{8}} = \cancel{ ( - 160)/(8) }

On simplifying it , We get :


\quad \dashrightarrow \qquad \: \red{\underline{\boxed{\frak{x = - 20}}}} \quad \bigstar

  • Henceforth , the other integer is -20 .

Verifying : -

Now we are verifying whether our answer is wrong or right by substituting value of x in the equation . So ,


  • 8 * x = - 160

Substituting value of x :


  • 8 * - 20 = - 160

Multiplying 8 with - 20 :


  • - 160 = - 160


  • \rm{L.H.S = R.H.S}


  • \rm{Hence , Verified .}

Therefore , of answer is correct .

Answer:

  • The other integer is -20


\:

Explanation:


\:

Given,

  • The product of two integers is -160.

  • One of the integers is 8


\:

To Find,

  • The other integer.


\:

Solution,

  • Let us assume the other integer as x


\:

So, The equation will be :


\\ \longrightarrow \qquad{ \ {{ { \sf{x * 8= - 160}}}}} \\ \: \:


\longrightarrow \qquad{ \ {{ { \sf{8x= - 160}}}}} \\ \: \:

Now, Let us divide both sides by 8 :


\\ \longrightarrow \qquad{ \ {{ { \sf{ (8x)/(8) = ( - 160)/(8) }}}}} \\ \: \:


\longrightarrow \qquad{ \underline {\boxed{ \pmb{ \mathfrak{x= - 20}}}}} \: \: \bigstar \: \\

Therefore,

  • The other integer is -20
