Question 485976
the product of two integers is 50. one integer is twice the other.find the integers.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Let the integers be A and B. We can now write 2 equations:
"the product of two integers is 50" so {{{A*B=50}}} [1] and 
"one integer is twice the other" so {{{A=2*B}}}  [2] 

putting equation [2] into equation [1]
{{{(2*B)*B=50}}} leads to {{{B^2=25}}} so B=5

and then using equation [2]
{{{A=2*B=2*5=10}}}
