Hi

one of the integers is five less than seven times the other integer.

Let x and (7x-5)represent the intergers

Question states***

 x(7x-5) = 408

   7x^2 - 5x -408 = 0

Solving for x









   x = 112/14 = 8  and x = -102/14 (extraneous solution as is a non-integer)  

Integers are 8 and 51 (7*8-5)



CHECKING our Answer***

   8*51 =408
