1 x 7 = 7 7 x 1 = 7
short answer -1 and -7 long worked answer let x = one of the integers let y = the other integer x+y = -8 xy = 7 solve for y y = -8 - x plug y in x(-8 - x) = 7 rearrange -x^2 - 8x - 7 = 0 divide both sides by -1 x^2 + 8x + 7 = 0 factor (x + 7)(x + 1) = 0 x = -1, -7 y = -8 - x so y = -8 + 1 = -7 or -8 + 7 = -1 so when x = -1, y = -7 when x = -7, y = -1
x = 7 7-4/3 x 7 = 1/7 3/21 = 1/7
