Question 40835
the sum of two integers is 10 and their product is 24.  Find the two integers.

Let the integers be x and y
EQUATION:
x+y=10
xy=24

Solve the 1st equation for y: y=10-x

Substitute that value of y into xy=24

x(10-x)=24
10x-x^2=24
x^2-10x+24=0
(x-4)(x+6)=0
x=4 or x=6

If x=4 then y=6
If x=6 then y=4
