Let x=1st integer, y=2nd integer

Translation:
Equation 1: "The product of two integers is 32"

Equation 2: "One integer is twice the other"

plug in y=2x into equation 1

Multiply

Divide both sides by 2

Take the square root of both sides

So we get or

Now plug in to find y

So when ,

Now plug in to find y

So when ,
