Question 33269: two positive integers have a product of 50. one integer is twice the other. what is the smaller number?

Let the two positive integers be x and y
given y = 2x
x*y = 50
x*(2x) = 50
2 = 50
= 50/2 = 25
x = =5 or x = -5
but given they are positive integers
so x = +5
y = 2(5) = 10
smaller number is 5
