One integer is 5 less than another and their product is 84. find the integers.

The first integer is going to be x and the second one is going to be y.

We now turn the clues into equations:

x = y - 5

xy = 84

The substitution method:

(y - 5)y = 84

y^2 - 5y - 84 = 0

(y+7)(y-12) = 0

y = -7, 12.

If y = -7, then x = -12.

If y = 12, then x = 7

start with a line segment pq that we will copy. mark a point r that will be one endpoint of the new line segment. set the compasses' point on the point p of the line segment to be copied. adjust the compasses' width to the point q. the compasses' width is now equal to the length of the line segment pq.
