Answer 1

Let the other integer be x.

-5 × x = 420.

x = -84

I hope this helps.

Answer 2

Answer :-

The other integer is -84.

Step-by-step explanation:

To Find :-

• The other integer.

★ Solution

Given that,

• The product of two integers is 420
• One integer is -5

Let us consider the other integer as (n),

∴ n × -5 = 420

By simplifying,

⇒ n × (- 5) = 420

Multiplying (n) with (- 5),

⇒ - 5n = 420

Dividing both L.H.S and R.H.S with (5),

⇒ -5n/-5 = 420/-5

⇒ n = - 84

Hence, The other integer is -84.

------------------------------------------------------

V E R I F I C A T I O N :-

• n × (-5) = 420

By simplifying the L.H.S :-

⇒ n × -5

⇒ - 84 × - 5

⇒ 420

Now, L.H.S = R.H.S = 420

Hence, Verified!
