Answer:
4 and 11
Step-by-step explanation:
Lets call the smallest n
And the other one n+7
Then,
n.(n+7)=44
n²+7n=44
Subtract 44 from both sides.
n²+7n-44=44-44
n²+7n-44=0
Factorize the equation.
n²+11n-4n-44=0
n(n+11)-4(n+11)=0
(n+11)(n-4)=0
n+11=0 , n-4=0
n=-11 , n=4
n=4 is the only positive solution, so the numbers are:
4 and 11....
Answer:
The two integers are: 4 and 11.
Step-by-step explanation:
We are given that one positive integer is 7 less than another. Given that the product of two integers is 44, we are to find the integers.
Assuming [tex]x[/tex] to be one positive integer and [tex]y[/tex] to be the other, we can write it as:
[tex]x=y-7[/tex] --- (1)
[tex]x.y=44[/tex] --- (2)
Substituting x from (1) in (2):
[tex](y-7).y=44[/tex]
[tex]y^2-7y-44=0\\\\y^2-11y+4y-44=0\\\\y(y-11)+4(y-11)[/tex]
y = 11
Substituting y = 11 in (1) to find x:
[tex]x=11-7[/tex]
x = 4
