One positive integer is 6 less than another. The product of the two integers is 55. What are the
integers?
Separate the answers with a comma.

Step-by-step explanation:

Put x as y-6 in the second equation.

Factor.

It has to be a positive integer.

Substitute y as 11.

5, 11.

Step-by-step explanation:

If the larger integer is x then the smaller one is x - 6.

Also x(x - 6) = 55

x^2 - 6x = 55

x^2 - 6x - 55 = 0

(x - 11)(x + 5) = 0

x = 11, -5.

We are given that x is positive so its value is 11.

The 2 integers are 5 and 11.

5x+2x=49

7x=49

x=7. 35 apples
