Question 639078: The sum of two positive integers is 4 times the smaller. The positive difference of their squares is 8 times the larger. What is the product if the two integers? Answer by graphmatics(170) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! Let x be the smaller of the two integers and y be the larger. We are given that:
From equation one we get Putting this into equation two we get:
So x=3 and y=9. 5he product of these two integers is 27.
