Two positive integers have a product of 176. One integer is 5 less than the other integer. Which equation can be used to find the value of x, the greater integer?

Respuesta :

[tex]xy=176[/tex]
[tex]y=x-5[/tex]

[tex]\implies x(x-5)=176\implies x^2-5x-176=(x+11)(x-16)=0[/tex]
[tex]\implies x=-11, x=16[/tex]

Since [tex]x>0[/tex], we take [tex]x=16[/tex], which means [tex]y=16-5=11[/tex].

Answer: X(X-5)=176
