You can put this solution on YOUR website!
following the rules for factoring, the factors of k must add to give +5\r

\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "assuming only integer values, the choices are quite limited ... what pairs of positive numbers add to 5?\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "multiplying the numbers in the pairs will give the values of k
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
