Algebra.Com's Answer #146448 by windsolace(8) ![]() You can put this solution on YOUR website! Let the smaller unknown number be x. \n" ); document.write( "Therefore the larger number is 2x\r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "x * 2x = 2(x^2) \n" ); document.write( "2(x^2) = 98 \n" ); document.write( "x^2 = 98/2 \n" ); document.write( "x^2 = 49 \n" ); document.write( "x = 7\r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Since both integers are negative, therefore the 2 integers are -7 and -14 \n" ); document.write( "To test: \n" ); document.write( "(-7) * (-14) = 98\r \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "I used * as multiply because x is already used as a constant in the solution.
