Question

An integer is 3 less than 5 times together. If the product of the two integers is 36, then find the integers

Answer 1

Explanation:

An integer is 3 less than 5 times another. If the product of the two integers is 36, then the integers are: 3 and 12. Solution: x * (5x 3) 36; 5x2 - 3x = 36; 5x2 -3x 36 = 0; (5x + 12)(x - 3) = 0; x = -12/5 or x =3.
