Question

Find a pair of integers whose product is (-96) and difference is 21

Answer 1

Answer:

Hi

Step-by-step explanation:

There are number of integer pairs whose product equals -12.

These are: (1, -12), (2, -6), (3, -4), (-3, 4), (-2, 6) and (-1, 12)

But (2, -6) and (-6, 2) are ideal pairs whose products equals to -12 and there lies seven integers between them.

Observe the number line:

For (-6, 2):

For (-2, 6):

While other pairs do not satisfy the criteria.

Thus, the solutions are (-6, 2) and (-2, 6).

Answer 2

answer: the solution are (-6,2) and (-2,6)
