Question

One integer is 5 more than another. Their product is 126. Find the integers.

Answer 1

a * b = 126
a = b + 5

b(b + 5) = 126
b^2 + 5b - 126 = 0
(b - 9)(b + 14) = 0

b - 9 = 0
b = 9

b + 14 = 0
b = -14....this is extraneous solution...it is not correct

a = b + 5
a = 9 + 5
a = 14

ur 2 integers are 9 and 14
