Question

The deference of an integer x and -6 is 4 .find the value of x​

Answer 1

Let the number x and y

x - y = 4 \\ xy = 221 \\ x = \frac{221}{y} \\ \frac{221}{y} - y = 4 \\ 221 - {y}^{2} = 4y \\ - {y}^{2} - 4y + 221 = 0 \\ {y}^{2} + 4y - 221 = 0 \\ {y}^{2} - 17y + 13y - 221 = 0 \\ y(y - 17) + 13(y - 17) = 0 \\ (y + 13)(y - 17) = 0 \\ y = - 13 \\ y = 17 \\

put these values of y into any of the equation.

xy= 221

x = \frac{221}{ - 13} = - 17 \\ x = \frac{221}{17 } = 13

Answer 2

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

hence given difference between those numbers is 4.

we can write it as (x -(-6)) = 4

           then we get x + 6 = 4

                                      x = 4 - 6

         then we value of x = -2 (since we get the sign of bigger number)
