Question 930398: One integer is 9 more than another. Their product is 580. Find the integers?
Answer by TimothyLamb(4379)   (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! y = x + 9
xy = 580
x(x + 9) = 580
xx + 9x - 580 = 0
---
the above quadratic equation is in standard form, with a=1, b=9 and c=-580
---
to solve the quadratic equation, by using the quadratic formula, copy and paste this:
1 9 -580

the quadratic has two real roots at:
---
x = 20
x = -29
---
the negative root doesn't fit the problem statement, so use the positive root:
---
x = 20
y = x + 9
y = 20 + 9
y = 29
---
answer:
x = 20
y = 29
