Answer:
Question:-
The sum of two numbers is -11. The product of these numbers is -80, find the numbers.
Solution:-
Let the numbers be x and y
x + y = -11
x = -11 - y — (i)
xy = -80
x = -80/y — (ii)
Now we compare both the equations:-
Since we know that both the equations stand for the value of x, we can say that they are equal to each other.
-11 - y = -80/y
(-11 -y)y = -80
-11y - y² = -80
-y² - 11y = -80
Now we factorise this term:-
-y² - 11y + 80 = 0
-y² - 16y + 5y + 80 = 0
y[-y - 16] - 5[-y - 16] = 0
[y - 5][-y - 16] = 0
y = -16 OR 5
Let’s take the value of y as 5
Now we find the value of x:-
x + y = -11
x + 5 = -11
x = -11 -5
x = -16
The integers are:-
-16 and 5
