F=first integer; S= second integer \n" ); document.write( "FS=70 \n" ); document.write( "S=70/F \n" ); document.write( "F-4=2S Substitute for S \n" ); document.write( "F-4=2(70/F) \n" ); document.write( "F-4=140/F Multiply each side by F. \n" ); document.write( "F^2-4F=140 Subtract 140 from each side. \n" ); document.write( "F^2-4F-140=0
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Answers F=14 and F=-10 \n" ); document.write( "S=70/F=70/14=5 ANSWER 1: One pair of integers that satisfies the problem is 14 and 5. \n" ); document.write( "For F=-10 \n" ); document.write( "S=70/F=70/-10=-7 ANSWER 2: Another pair of numbers that satisfies the problem is -10 and -7. \n" ); document.write( " |
