The product of two integers is positive and equals twice the sum of the integers.
Find the pair of integers.
:
2(x+y) = xy
2x + 2y = xy
2x + 2y - xy = 0
2y - xy = -2x
y(2-x) = -2x
y = -%282x%29%2F%282-x%29
we know 2 can't be a solution
try x=3
y = -%282%2A3%29%2F%282-3%29
y = %28-6%29%2F%28-1%29
y = 6
:
The two integers, 3 & 6
