ANSWER: 12 and -6
x * y = 72
x = 72/y Equation 1
x + y = 6 Equation 2
Substitute Eq.1 to Eq.2
-72/y + y = 6
multiply both sides of the equation by y
y (-72/y + y ) = 6* y
-72 + y2 = 6y
y2 - 6y - 72 = 0
(y- 12) (y + 6) = 0
y = 12 ; y = -6
x =-12 ; x = 12
Take x = 12 and y = -6

Find two consecutive odd integers whose sum is 72?
Two consecutive odd integers are 'X' and 'X+2' . X + (X + 2) = 72 2X + 2 = 72 2X = 70 X = 35 X + 2 = 37
What is three consecutive even integers whose sum equals 210?
Middle integer must be one-third of the sum, in this case 70. Other two are therefore 68 and 72
What are 2 integers whose product is 72 and whose sum is 6?
The factor pairs of 72 are (72,1)(36,2)(24,3)(18,4)(12,6)(9,8) None of them total 6. If that was -72, you could use 12 and -6.
