2. I'm thinking of two positive integers. Their
sum is 8. Their product is 12. What are they?

2 and 6

Step-by-step explanation:

Take integers to be X and Y

X*Y=12

X + Y = 8

from the second equation, X= 8-Y

put X in the first Equation

(8-Y)Y = 12

Expand the equation

-Y² + 8Y - 12 = 0

Factorize the above equation

(-Y + 2) (Y - 6) = 0

Y = 2 and Y = 6

choose any value of Y.

so Y = 6,

put Y in X + Y = 8

X + 6 = 8

X = 2

therefore the integers are 2 and 6

step-by-step explanation:

you can add the two numbers and divide the result by 2. or you can find the gap between the two numbers and add half of this to the smaller number.
