Question

the product of two integers is -255. if one integers is 17 , find the other. with solution

Answer 1

Heya friend,


Here's your answer,



A very simple question...



Given,


The product of two numbers = -255


First integer = 17


Let the second integer be x.


Therefore,

17 * x  = -255

⇒ 17x = -255

⇒ x = 255 /17

Hence,

x = -15



Therefore, the second integer = -15


We can also verify this by,

Putting the value of -15 in place of x.

We get,


17 * x = -255

17 * (-15) = -255


Hence proved that our answer is correct.
