One interger is 8 more than another. Their product is 105. Find the intergers.
Let x be the first number and x + 8 the second
So x(x + 8) = 105 simplify and rearrange
x2 + 8x - 105 - 0 factor
(x - 7) (x + 15) = 0
Setting both factors to 0, we have that x = 7 or x = -15
So, if ix = 7, x + 8 = 15
And if x = -15 x + 8 = -7
