If you multiply two integers together and then add 4, the result is 40. Which of the following could NOT be the sum of the two numbers? - 12
- 13
- 15
- 18
- 20

18

Step-by-step explanation:

xy + 4 = 40

xy = 40 - 4

xy = 36

What two numbers can b multiplied to give 36? Then add them.

9 + 4 = 13

18 + 2 = 20

6 + 6 = 12

12 + 3 = 15

The odd option is 18

answer: integers are just whole numbers: positive, negative, and zero.

i = {-∞, -2, -1, 0, 1, 2, 3, ∞}

let x = 1st integer

let y = 2nd integer

x = 3y + 17   {equation 1}

xy = -24         {equation 2}

substitute 3y+17 in place of x n equation 2

and solve for y.

(3y+17)y = -24

3y2 + 17y = -24

3y2 + 17y + 24 = 0

from quadratic equation:

y = [-17±√(172-4(3)(24))]/(2(3))

y = (-17 ±√1)/6

y = (-17+1)/6   or     y = (-17-1)/6

y = -16/6           or     y = -18/6

y = -2 2/3         or   y = -3

since we are dealing with

y = -3

x = 3y+17 = -9+17 = 8

the integers are -3, 8
