the product of two integers is 50. one integer is twice the other. find the integers.

use what they are telling. a*b=50 (one integer times the other give you a product of 50. we're randomly calling these integers "a" and "b")2a=b (one integer is twice the amount of the other. we're randomly selecting "b" to be twice the amount of "a")plug in what we know a*(2a)=50 (we replaced "b" with "2a" because we know from the info they gave us that b=2a)now solve for "a"a*2a=502a²=50a²=50/2a²=25√a²=√25a=5which because 2a=b we know that b=10 

(1) -5*(-10)=50(2) 5*10=50
