One integer is 9 more than another. Their product is 360
. Find the integers.
----------------
1st:: x
2nd:: x+9
-----
Equation:
x(x+9) = 360
x^2 + 9x - 360 = 0
-----------------------
x = 15 or x = -24
-----
If x = 15, x+9 = 24
If x = -24, x+9 = -15
-------------------

Let x be the smaller integer.
Then
or
x=-24 —> x+9 = -15
x=15 —> x+9 = 24
—
Answers:
1. -24 and -15
and
2. 15 and 24
—
Check: 1. -15 is 9 more than -24, and (-24)(-15) = 360 (ok)
2. 24 is 9 more than 15, and (24)(15) = 360 (ok)
