Can any negative integer be greater than a positive integer?
Some sources say that the answer is no because a negative integer is less than zero and a positive integer is greater that zero. This answer is partially incorrect because if a negative integer is in an absolute value problem, it can potentially be greater that a positive integer. Example: |-11| > 7 because |-11|=11 because it is in an absolute value problem. Simplified, the problem is 11 > 7 So yes, in some cases a negative integer is greater that a positive integer.
How does factor pair solve the problem?
That depends on what the problem is.
Which equation should be used to solve this problem The sum of two consecutive even integers is 42 Find the numbers?
2x + 2 = 42 x = 20 20 and 22
How can you solve the problem finding two consecutive positive integers whose product is 210?
Let x = first positive integer the x + 1 is the next positive integer the product is x (x+1) = 210 x^2 + x = 210 x^2 + x - 210 = 0 Use quadratic equation to solve, or factor (X+15) (X-14 ) = 0 x = +14 or X = -15 The positve one is x = 14 X + 1 = 15 ANS: 14 and 15
How do you solve for a is greater than 2?
