name 2 integers whose product is -18 and whose difference between the greatest and least number is 9
***
let x=greater number
let y=least number
xy=-18
x-y=9
x=y+9
(y+9)y=-18
y^2+9y+18=0
(y+6)(y+3)=0
y=-3
x=y+9=-3+9=6
or
y=-6 (least number)
x=y+9=-6+9=3
two pairs of answers for greatest and least numbers:
6 and -3
or
3 and -6
