Question

The product is 60 and the sum is -17

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

product=60

sum=. -17

1st digit=x

2nd digit=y

sum =x+y

-17 =x+y

x=-17-y ------i

product=xy

60. =(-17-y)(y). {put I equation}

60. = -17y-y²

y²+17y+60=0

y²+20y-3y+60=0

y(y+20)-3(y+20)=0

(y+20)(y-3)=0

y=-20(not required) and

y=3 --------ii

solve i equation

x=-17-y

x=-17-3

x=-20
